I ran into a problem with the physics package that I subsequently solved. But I am wondering whether this would be a candidate for an SCR and/or be considered a bug.

The calculation I am trying is actually (so far) very simple.

I define a Hamiltonian H:

H := sqrt(p_^2*c^2+m^2*c^4); # note the square of vector p_

p_:=p1*_i+p2*_j+p3*_k;

H;

So far so good. Now I want to take the differentials of H against the components of p:

diff(H,p1) assuming c::real;

Hmm... I am not sure why the p2 and p3 still show up; but then, the product between the unit vectors should be 0 for different ones and one for equal unit vectors so maybe this is ok.

But H behaves weird: I can simplify it:

but if I try to do anything with it, it barfs:

dH+0;

Error, (in Physics:-Vectors:-+) invalid operation * between vectors _i and _j

As it turns out the issue is the square of the vector p_. Maple (or rather, Physics) does not recognize that it needs to expand p_^2 as p_.p_ and seems to treat is like p_*p_.

I would like Edgardo---& others more experienced with the Physics package than I am---to look at this. I do not understand the Physics package well enough to judge whether overloading the exponentiation operator to make this work is the right thing.

The example works once I replace p_^2 by p_.p_. But the ^2 notation is fairly standard usage so it feels slightly awkward.

Thanks,

Mac Dude.

hello 

if you have a function lets say: 2x+1/4-x³

Now if you have to plot the graf, how should you know what the x and y shoud be? I mean you do like: plot(f(x),x=..

what should it be? i find it hard :(

Hello, forgive me if I used bad english, I am not a native speaker.

Anyhow: I have to decide the set of coordinates looking at the grafs intersections.  (I hope you understand that)

This is my function: f(x)=1/4*x³-x²-x+4

When you plot the function you see that the intersections is (-2,0) (2,0) and (4,0)

BUT I have to use a command to find these three intersections, plzz help me!

THANK YOU indeed.

[point of] intersection

Are there any commands in maple that will help me find a suitable function that approximates the numerical solution of:

Download PDEprob2_(2).mw

I am refering to the first graph, is there a way in maple to find an explicit suitable approximating function?

I.e, I want the function to have the same first graph obviously, it seems like addition of exponent and a line function, I tried plotting exp(-t)-0.3*t, it doesn't look like it approximates it very well. Any suggestion on how to implement this task in maple?

Thanks.

I'm have used a program to find the roots of a function 

f:=x*cos(x)-sin(x)*sin(x/1000);
/ 1 \
x cos(x) - sin(x) sin|---- x|
\1000 /

x_max:=50; x_min:=-50; step:=2; i_max:=(x_max-x_min)/step;
50
-50
2
50

j:=1:
for i from 0 to i_max by 1 do
x0:=x_min+i*step;
x[j]:=fsolve(f=0,x=x0);
j:=j+1;
end:

and my output was of the form of multiple "potential" roots and a bunch of which are the same. So I tried to get rid of the ones which were the same before actually finding the ones which ARE roots. To do that I done....

j := 1; for j to 50 do if x[j]-x[j+1] = 0 then ignore(x[j]) else print(x[j]) end if end do:

and it got rid of the ones which are of the above form but some roots are the same and seperated by more than 1 ... i.e x[ j ]= x[j + 2] or some other number. 

Basically I am trying to generalise the above for loop for all "numbers" instead of 1 but when I try some things the for loop doesnt like it. 

Any help would be good!

Say I have an equation of ax^2 + by^2 = 0,

I would like to plot a graph of y^2 against x^2...

How do i do that?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to solve the following eqauation but Maple gives me the answer (( RootOf(mexp(-_Z*(m-1))*d^2-theta+_Z*theta-theta*c*t__kj) ))

The equation is:

solve(mexp(-(m-1)*t__ij)*d^2-theta+theta*t__ij-theta*(sum(t__kj, k = 1 .. c))-m*eta*(diff((1-1/exp(t))^m, t)) = 0, t__ij);

Could you please help me??

What is the meaning rootOF? Is there any explicit solution to that equation??

Thank you for your help

Please how do I solve the above 2nd order differential equation (F and K are constants)?

I have the following boundary conditions:

Many thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to solve the following equation and unfortunately I get this error ( Error, (in Engine:-Dispatch) invalid subscript selector ) each time I try. Could you please help me??

I will be thankful for your great help.

solve(m*exp(-(m-1)*t_ij)*d²-θ+θ*t_ij-θ*(Σ(t_kj, k = 1 .. c))-m*η*(1-exp(-t_ij))^(m-1) = 0, t_ij)

Hello !!

I want to replace the word "assuming" with another word. I tried to write:

> as:=assuming;

> alias(as=assuming);

> `&as`:=proc(a,b) a assuming b; end;

The first two methods are not allowed. The last one doesn't work like "assuming".

Is there any solution to this problem ?

Some time ago, @marc005 asked how he could send an email from the Maple command line.

Why would you want to do this? Using Maple's functionality, you could programatically construct an email - perhaps with the results of a computation - and email it yourself or someone else.

I originally posted a solution that involved communicating with a locally-installed SMTP server using the Sockets package. But of course, you need to set up an SMTP server and ensure the appropriate ports are open.

I recently found a better solution. Mailgun (http://mailgun.com) is a free email delivery service with an web-based API. You can communicate with this API via the URL package; simply send Mailgun a URL:-Post() message that contains account-specific information, and the text of your email.

The general steps and Maple commands are given below, and you can download the worksheet here.

Note: Maplesoft have no affiliation with Mailgun.

Step 1:
Sign up for a free Mailgun account.

Step 2:
In your Mailgun account, go to the Domains section - it should look like the screengrab below (account-specific information has been blanked).

Note down the API Base URL and the API key.

• the API Base URL looks like https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandboxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.mailgun.org.  
• •the API Key looks like key-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Step 3:

In Maple, define strings containing your own API Base URL and API Key. Also, define the recipient's email address, the email you want the recipient to reply to, the email subject and email body.

>restart:

>APIBaseURL := "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandboxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.mailgun.org":

>APIKey:="key-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX":

>toEmail := "xxxxx@xxxxxx.com":

>fromEmail:="First Last <FirstLast@Domain.com>":

>subject:= "Email Subject Goes Here":

>emailBody := "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy":

Step 4:
Run the following code

> URL:-Post(cat(APIBaseURL,"/messages"),[

"from"=fromEmail,"to"=toEmail,

"subject"=subject,

"text"= emailBody],

user="api",password=APIKey);

If you've successfully sent the email, you should see something like this (account-specific information is blanked out)

You can also send HTML emails by replacing the "text" line with "html" = str, where str is a string with your HTML code.

This may be a trivial question, but does this factor fully with the newer versions of Maple, say at 900 digits?

Good Day Everybody, I m new to maple and would like to translate the following for loop from Matlab to Maple. The FromMatlab Translater didnt work for this expression related to the matrix Q, A, B D and A1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Related Matlab Code:

...

Q(3,3)=2*Q(3,3);

 for i=1:length(R)

    T(1,1)=cos(R(i))^2; 

    T(2,2)=cos(R(i))^2; 

    T(1,2)=sin(R(i))^2; 

    T(2,1)=sin(R(i))^2; 

    T(3,1)=-sin(R(i))*cos(R(i)); 

    T(3,2)=sin(R(i))*cos(R(i)); 

    T(1,3)=2*sin(R(i))*cos(R(i)); 

    T(2,3)=-2*sin(R(i))*cos(R(i)); 

    T(3,3)=cos(R(i))^2-sin(R(i))^2;

    T1(1,1)=cos(R(i)); 

    T1(1,2)=-sin(R(i)); 

    T1(2,1)=sin(R(i)); 

    T1(2,2)=cos(R(i));

    Qk(:,:,i)=inv(T)*Q*T; 

    Qk(:,3,i)=Qk(:,3,i)/2; 

    Qk1(:,:,i)=inv(T1)*Q1*T1;

    A=A+Qk(:,:,i)*(h(i+1)-h(i)); 

    B=B+.5*Qk(:,:,i)*(h(i+1)^2-h(i)^2); 

    D=D+1/3*Qk(:,:,i)*(h(i+1)^3-h(i)^3); 

    A1=A1+Qk1(:,:,i)*(h(i+1)-h(i));
