Maple returns the wrong answer to the following very simple double sum:

T:=(x,m)->sum( sum(binomial(m,k+p),k=1..m-p)*x^p,p=0..m-1);

Maple gives zero for all m>0.  However, the correct answer is a non-zero polynomial in x. 

For example, with Maple:

T(x, 3);
                               0

The correct answer is  x^2+4*x+7.

It would be helpful if others can check this double sum in their version of Maple and report results.

I set a physical model for my reseach,

equ1 := x^4-5*x

equ2 := 1/x+x^2+3

x is a function of time t and it meets diff(x(t), t) = equi-equ2.

I want to plot the curve of x(t) varying with time

When I use the following command

DEplot({x(0) = 0, diff(x(t), t) = equi-equ2},x(t), t = 0 .. 20)   it shows: Error, (in DEtools/DEplot) called with too few arguments

Who can tell me what is wrong with my calculation? Thanks

I keep getting an error about the while. It is calling it an invalid if statement.  It may relate to semi colons, but I cannot find any errors myself. Please help.

I'm trying to solve a series of equations and then graph them. I'm trying to solve for the variables involved:

values := solve({eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4, eq5, eq6, eq7, eq8, eq9,

eq10, eq11, eq12, eq13, eq14, eq15, eq16}, {a, b, b, c, d, e, f,

g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p});

. . . but it gives me this:

Warning, solving for expressions other than names or functions is not recommended. 

values := 

int(int(y, 0 <= y, x^2+y^2+z^2 <= 1));

Error, (in int) integration range or variable must be specified in the second argument, got 0 <= y

int(int(y, y = 0, x^2+y^2+z^2 = 1));

A major-league pitcher releases a ball at a point 6 feet above the ground and 58 feet from home plate at a speed of 100 mi/hr ,  

If gravity had no effect, the ball would travel along a line and cross home plate 4 feet off the ground. Find the drop D caused by gravity.                                                                                                                                                      

NB: in this problem the angle alpha is the angle between the horizontal and the direction of the released ball. Since the ball is dropping, alpha will be negative.

Hi every body:

i have a second order ode and will convert to two ode of first order with maple,how do this work???

eq := diff(y(x), x, x)+2*y(x)+y(x)^2 = 0

taylor(1/(1+z^2), z = 1, 4)

The result is 

1/2-(1/2)*z-1+(1/4)*(z-1)^2+O((z-1)^4)

but in fact the result is 

1/2-(1/2)*(z-1)+(1/4)*(z-1)^2+O((z-1)^4)

my Maple is Maple 16,How to solve this problem?

Hi there,

is it possible to have the legend of a pointplot accepting arguments?

Say I have an array of 3 values (e.g. p:=[1.5,2,2.5]) representing a given parameter for a function. When representing this function by means of a plot, I would like the legend (legend="Parameter " + value in array; legend=["Parameter", "Parameter", "Parameter") to accept the contents of the array, without entering the values manually:

Parameter 1.5

Parameter 2

Parameter 2.5

How can this be achieved?

Thanks,

jon

When I plot an expresion I would the graphics be framed. What I am getting, instead, is the curve and the axis, whith no frame at all. How can I force Maple to make the graphic surrounded by a frame? 

@ecterrab 

I figured I'd start a new thread for odd things I come across whilst using the new physics package. 

I have found this, and am not sure if it is expected.

Archimedes supposedlly, was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of pure gold. According to 

legend, he solved this problem by weighing the crown first in air and then in water. Suppose the scale read 7.84 N when the 

crown was in the air and 6.84 N when it was in water.

What should Archimedes have told the king ?

Hi! I have a matlab worksheet that i need to convert it to Maplesoft. Is it possible?

Take a look at below. I was expecting maple to give me "g'(1)"! :)
