"Perhaps this option will be included in an update."

I think, you are too optimistic. Besides, what good in having just one of such usual in other programming editors and IDEs things? There are a lot of other things that should be done - automathic indenting, text coloring and highliting, tooltips, debugging etc.

Look at it this way - Maplesoft developers (well, most of them) are not even interested enough in their job to post on this site. Why would one expect them to do something that goes ahead of their assigned duties?

What was the most surprising in this thread for me, was that some people still seem to continue using Maple for more than 3-5 lines of code! I think, I stopped doing that about 5-6 years ago.

Who needs Maple when there are Python, SciPy, SAGE etc. with tons of editors, IDEs, graphics tools, excellent support etc.

I think, the button for toggling Tab for tabs is for the Text mode. Does it work in Math mode for you?

Regarding shortcut keys - there are a few utilities allowing doing that inside any Windows program (if you use Windows), and it may be possible in KDE. The couple of Windows utilities that I downloaded and scanned before using them, contained trojans though.

It used to have 2 searches - basic (on the web page), just looking through the database, and advanced - applying various transformations (few hundreds of them - much more than identify does), and emailing you the result. I didn't see the advanced search there now.

Eclipse is Java based - still, it works (and looks) much smoother than Standard Maple. Java is Java though - slow, buggy, and ugly.

I understand the idea - but why Maple 9.5? It had the same (or even worse) Standard Java interface.

In Maple, interfaces connect with the kernel through a socket using a secret handshake preventing other programs (including those on other computers) to connect to it. I don't see how that can be made open source.

Just checked it - in Microsoft Word 2007 that I have it is in Insert menu group - section Header and Footer, 3 selections - Header, Footer, and Page Number (each with further detalization).

View has following entries: Document Views, Show/Hide, Zoom, Window, and Macros.

I checked Microsoft Works 8.5 and Microsoft Word 2002 as well - also page numbers were in Insert menu - at the top, right after Break. Header and Footer were in View menu though in those olden days.

Now, check something different - say Lotus Symphony. Page Numbering, Header, and Footer are in Create menu group - not in View.

Star Office 8 - Header and Footer are in Insert menu, and Fields (containing Page Numbers), too.

Conclusion: Maple Standard is alone having Page Numbers in View menu - nobody else does or did (even Maple Classic has them in Format menu - not exactly Insert, but still not View).

int(omega*sqrt(x)/(x*(omega-x)),x=0..infinity,CauchyPrincipalValue) 
    assuming positive; 

                                  0

which is correct, and

int(sqrt(x)*omega/(x*(omega-x)), x = 0 .. omega-epsilon)+
int(sqrt(x)*omega/(x*(omega-x)), x = omega+epsilon .. infinity) 
assuming omega>epsilon, epsilon>0;

                             1/2
            (omega - epsilon)          1/2
  2 arctanh(--------------------) omega
                       1/2
                  omega

                                                  1/2
                  1/2            (omega + epsilon)
         - 2 omega    Re(arctanh(--------------------))
                                            1/2
                                       omega

eval(%,[omega=9.5,epsilon=0.001]);

                             -0.00032620

which is also correct.

I'm not sure that this is helpful, but something like following might work,

f(t,k)=int(1/sqrt(1-k^2*sin(s)^2),s=0..phi) 
    assuming phi > 0,phi < Pi/2:
simplify(%,symbolic);

                   f(t, k) = EllipticF(sin(phi), k)

solve(%,sin(phi));

                         JacobiSN(f(t, k), k)

solve(sin(theta/2)=k*%, theta);

                   2 arcsin(k JacobiSN(f(t, k), k))

The implementation of special functions in Maple (and in other CAS), is not the same as in the books (and it varies from one CAS to another one, and from one book to another one, too). The difference between InverseJacobiAM (which is not the inverse function of JacobiAM in Maple, in spite of its name) and EllipticF, is described rather clearly in ?InverseJacobiAM.

Simply speaking, one of them is using sqrt(1-a^2) and another one sqrt(1+a)*sqrt(1-a) which is not the same for complex values.

Some confusion may be caused by the title of the help page -

"InverseJacobiAM - The inverse of the Jacobi amplitude function am"

But if you read through it, you will see that

"With some restrictions on the values of the function parameters, InverseJacobiAM is the inverse of the amplitude JacobiAM function"

and the restrictions are described there.

I still don't exactly understand what input and what output you would like to see.
