I want to open a file, in maple.  I do not want to open maple, and then open the file. 

More specifically, how do I

a) run something like:

maple -x -f myfile.mw

so that xmaple starts and opens directly to the file myfile.mw.  Ideally if xmaple is already running, it will hopefully just spawn a new tab.

b) set this up as a "Preferred application" in Fedora and in Ubuntu.

I think a) may solve b).

 

How could I obtain the 2 values (a, b are reals) of this complex number?

I tried

assume(a::real)

assume(b::real)

sqrt(a+i b)    and     (a+i b)^(1/2)  give back the input.

Thanks,             Sandor

Given several poins and a known center, how do I approximate a circle with an unknown radius with Maple?

I am totaly new using this software, so I don't know how to start.

Thank you for your help!!

I have the equation of a sphere x^2+y^2+z^2 = 36 and two points in three space P(-3,-10,2) and Q(5,14,8) and I need to show that the line between the points intersects the sphere graphically and analytically, but I cant even figure out how to graph them, and I have a suspicion, but am not sure, that to prove it analytically I would find the equation of the line in three space between the points and prove that the line equals the equation of the sphere in two places, but I cant figure out how to find that equation either.

Each line in my data file reads

[elm1, elm2, elm3, elm4]

I have the following lines to tally column 1:

> data:= map2(op, 1, datafile);

> Statistics[Tally](data);

I would like to tally the 3-tuples, [elm1,elm2,elm3], and it doesn't seem that Tally is able to handle a 3-tuple. 

I appreciate any help you can offer.

 

Hi,

I have an equation given by

( 15.3*r_1 - 0.6 + 5.7 * r_2 ) / ( 21.0*r_1 - 3.1 + 84.8*r_2 )

what command do I use to collect r_1 and r_2 so i get

(r_1 + r_2 ) * ...... -.....    /   (r_1 + r_2) *....... - ......

Hi,

if I have a equation

( 15,3440 * r_1 - 0.6329 + 5.7540 * r_2  )   / 

( 21.0981 * r_1 - 3.1780 + 84.8348 *r_2 )

How do I solve for r_1 and r_2 ?

The solutions should be r_1=0.175 and r_2=0.055

Hi all! I have such an issue: I have a set of non-linear expressions with two variables, right now I am trying to create a plot: {0 = -(1/345)*(-28704*b*a-11224*b*a^2)/a, 0

I've got a really serious problem about maple 12.It happened after I installed maple 12 software. The installation was successful,i activated the software successfully as well,but when i want to run the program.. the error message pop up... it said that "could not create java virtual machine".
I've tried everything i can to deal with this problem like restart the system,re-download and re-install the software,even re-install the java... which all turned out to be failed.I'm really looking forward to your help.

Dear all,

 I want to plot  one figure,  the codes in Maple 11 is as follows

I'm using a Mac Pro with Leopard, Maple12, and try to

use "define_external" to use a shared library I created (just a simple trial for now) but get the error:

> define_external('try_it', 'FORTRAN' , 'x'::float[8] , 'y'::float[8] , LIB="try/try_it.so");
Error, external linking: error loading external library try/try_it_ifort.so: dlopen(try/try_it.so, 129): no suitable image found.  Did find:
    try/try_it.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
 

I compiled the library with:

Hey guys,

I have a quick question about solving for variables = infinity.  When I code in

solve(infinity=x,x);

the output returns as blank.  Does anyone know why this is?  When I do

the output returns x=infinity and y=infinity.  But when I do

solve({y=0,x=infinity});

Hi,

I'm trying to solve a system of 3 equations with 3 unknowns using fsolve(). The (very long) equations depend on a parameter d. For some values of d, fsolve finds a solution, for other values of d it doesn't, although I can specify a quite narrow range in which there should be a solution. Is there any way to force fsolve() to try harder? It returns unevaluated after about 5 min and I wouldn't mind if it searched for several hours...

Since I've been helped so many times on this forum, I wanted to "give back" something to the forum.  I remember several months ago someone on this forum had a coupled system of differential equations to solve: an autonomous systems of ODEs that looked like it came from chemical kinetics, something like:

dx/dt = (5*x + y)/(2*x+3*y+5)

dy/dt = 2*x*y/(7*x+6*y+1)

 

Dear all,

A few months ago I posed a question on drying of moist particles. Since then my study continued but has never finished.

In short:
