Determine the smallest positive integer that is the sum of six distinct positive integers, such that the sum of any selection of five of the six summands is a distinct square number.

Mapleprims Statistics

Hi,

Can we get statistics about Mapleprimes?

For example: How many questions are asked each week? How does the number of answers/replies an answer receive in average is evolving along time? How does the number if new incomers evolves.

I get the impression that fewer and fewer questions are being asked, that the variety of members involved dominishes and, to put it simply, Mapleprimes is losing popularity.

GUI is unresponsive

Jean-Michel — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 18:46:28 Z

Hello,

Under Windows 11 Pro the GUI of Maple 2026.1 stuck Maple totally.

I can't even open a new document.

In Maple 2026.0 everything was ok...

This .1 release is unusable on my computer. I didn't dare to ask until today.

Open windows task manager I see that OpenJDK platform binary is the culprit.

Then.. I do NOT know what to do.

If someone has an idea I will be very happy.

Thanks and best,

Jean-Michel

Numeric formatting ignored

Thomasbk — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:03:51 Z

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing what appears to be a problem with Numeric Formatting in Maple 2026.

I have a worksheet where I calculate a numerical value using evalf, for example:

evalf(1 - (3.7*90)/(10.4*3600))

which returns

0.4663461539

When I select the output and use the Context Panel → Numeric Format, for example:

Percent
2 decimal places

the preview in the math container changes accordingly (e.g. showing something like 0.45), but the actual numerical output below still displays as

0.4663461539

Changing the number format, decimal places, scientific notation, etc. seems to have no effect on the displayed output.

Even if not using evalf.

Is this the expected behavior in Maple 2026?

Does Numeric Formatting only apply to certain types of expressions or math containers?
Is there a known issue with formatting numerical output generated by evalf?
Am I missing a setting that enables formatting of worksheet output?

I have attached a screenshot illustrating the problem.

Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Solver takes hours to return

I have a very large system of nonlinear equations in Maple 2025, and the solver takes hours. Any Suggestions?
