Maple 2026 print layout

PDF created with print -> Adobe pdf printer -> save to file

Is that related to the attached worksheet or my installation?
If that is not reproducible on other installations, can I someone provide a file that prints correctly to test my installation?


Anything I can do about the mixed up fonts?

Other question: Where is the pagesetup in Maple 2026? Maple shows in the printlayout a pagebreak at about 80% of the displayed page. AI could not tell me?

 

 

I am adding 'specificheat' as a property to the Element database in Maple.

In my .mapleinit I have added the property so it is permanent

I have a Package that loads the values in from a table using

  ScientificConstants:-ModifyElement(parse(elemt),specificheat=[value=data[i,4]*1000,units='J/kg/K']);

which runs in a loop for all elements I have values for. This all works.

My issue: GetUnit() returns a unit of m^2/(s^2*K). While this is not wrong, I want it to stay J/(kg*K), which is much more suitable for my work (and, besides, is the SI unit for specific heat). I can use convert to fix it on a case-by-case basis, but that is decidedly clumsy.

Is there a way to do that?

This is in Maple 2015. I have access to Maple 2023 as well, but not where I am right now. I really need this to work on all of them.

TIA,

M.D.

In the following example, the result of PDETools:-dchange()  is unexpected.  This may be due to my misunderstanding of the documentation, or (hopefully not) a bug.  Any comments?

restart;

with(PDETools):

Differential equation over 0 < x and x < 5:

de := diff(u(x),x) + x*u(x) = 0;

diff(u(x), x)+x*u(x) = 0

Transform the domain from 0 < x and x < 5 to 0 < xi and xi < 1:

tr := x = 5*xi,  u(x) = v(xi);

x = 5*xi, u(x) = v(xi)

dchange({tr}, de, {xi, v(xi)});

(1/5)*(diff(v(xi), xi))+5*xi*v(xi) = 0

That's good.  Now do the same thing to a generic first order ODE:

DE := F(x,u(x),diff(u(x),x));

F(x, u(x), diff(u(x), x))

dchange({tr}, DE, {xi, v(xi)});

F(xi, v(xi), (1/5)*(diff(v(xi), xi)))

That's not good.  The first argument of "F," which was x, should have changed to 5*xi.

The two uploads are my attempt to solve Problem 177 in the book "200 More Puzzling Physics Problems" by authors Peter Gnadig, Gyula Honyek and Mate Vigh.

The first upload of a conducting rod moving with initial velocity along two arms of a triangle in a perpendicular constant magnitic field successfully produces an animation.

The second upload of the rod moving on the arms of a parabola produces a puzzling error message when executing the ODE

What actual error in the ODE results in this error message?

What changes to the worksheet will result in successful execution of the ODE and a successful animation?

Are there any demonstration help videos on creating an eBook? Currently I am struggling with the pages Having a laid out example would really help.  

I would like to do an eBook version of my help pages to send to some people. Hopefully I can use the current help worksheets. The are formatted based on the Maple help structure.

My currrent structure in the help section is:

Rational Trigonometry

      (about 40 help topics)

       RTProjective

       (about 20 help topics)

       UHG

       (about 20 help topics)

     Edit:- I have made a small step of progress using the " Assistant eBook template" but I am getting this error on build. I don't know how to find the cause of the error.

I would like to solve an equation in the attached file as an exercise. I am looking for all solutions - including the complex ones. This is easily done using "derive". There are six solutions:

restart

solve(2^x*(2+sqrt(3))^x-2*(1+sqrt(3))^x = 2, x)

RootOf(2^_Z*(2+3^(1/2))^_Z-2*(1+3^(1/2))^_Z-2)

(1)

NULL

Five are complex, and the single real solution can be guessed simply by taking a close look. I am unable to obtain the complete solution in Maple; I cannot find my mistake and would appreciate some advice.

I tried to evaluate the function

convert(BesselJ(nu, x), FormalPowerSeries)

only to obtain the Error message

Error, (in convert/FormalPowerSeries) input contains no or more than one variable.

Seems a rather strange error. I thought it would treat x as a single variable

Is there a Maple Support Update package for Maple 2025 ? If so, how do I download it?

Thanks, Roy

Hi Maple community, and all,

Have a small ask, regarding prime numbers.

see attached

Thanks in advance.

I cannot find a description of the use of the form of dsolve and the following evaluation of its constants which are found in the downloaded worksheet.

Dear sir how to plots the graphs in three region BC from -1 to 0 and 0 to 1 and 1 to 2 
3_region_work.mw

Dear Maple users

I am testing Maple 2026, which will be used at our school after the summer holiday. I see that AI have now found its way to Maple on a new level. AI can be used internally via the AI Assistant, but as I understand it will also be possible to let ChatGPT use Maple in order to provide an answer, instead of using it's own way to do math. I just cannot figure out how it is done. Having a school license for Maple means we take part in the Maplesoft Elite Maintenance Program (EMP). In Maple 2026 i have found Maple MCP on the "My Maple" båndet. When I click it I am however just referred to the main page of Maplesoft. My question: How can I make Maple MCP work for me?

Kind regards,

Erik V.

Why doesn't a piecewise function plot correctly?

(1)   plot(sin((2*Pi)*100*t), t = 0 .. 1);        Plots correctly

(2)   s1 := t -> sin(200*t*Pi);
       plot(s1(t), t = 0 .. 1);                           Plots correctly

(3)   s2 := t -> piecewise(0 < t, 0, t < 10, sin(200*t*Pi), 0);
       s2 := proc (t) options operator, arrow; piecewise(0 < t, 0, t < 10, sin(200*t*Pi), 0) end proc

       plot(s2(t), t = 0 .. 1);                            Does not plot correctly. Only a blank plot is displayed.

A very stupid question :I want my one-dimensional output from Maple 2016 and also Maple 2026, use as one-dimensional input in my Maple 2026 , which I just bought. I'am very inpatient and think it must be very simple but too complicated for me. Before making a very extensive and timeconsuming study somebody should be able to tell me to perform this  by a few clicks .
Thanking you beforehand and I'll be very gratefull for your help.

In 2-D Math input:
In a product of more than two factors space is not allways sufficient to delimite factors when one of the factors is of type numeric.

Just for my interest: Is there a reason or a rule for that?

2-D Math: space interpreted as multiplication

a*b*c

a*b*c

(1)

2*b*c

2*b*c

(2)

With numbers this does not work in these cases

"a 2 c"

Error, missing operation

"a 2 c"

 

"a b 2"

Error, missing operation

"a b 2"

 

Multiplication operators are required

"2 2 c"
