sometimes Maple gives me the result in strange form, for example:

(2.*I)*q*r

I is the complex number. why is there a dot behind 2 ? How can I simplify it to

2*I*q*r ?

Many thanks,Kyle

Dear experts, I have problems about "subs", see below

> restart:

> assume(A>0): interface(showassumed=0):
> f:= A^2-2*sqrt(A^2+1)+1;

Now I want to replace A^2+1 to M^2, so idealy, what I want to see is

M^2 + M

When I do:

> f2:= subs(A^2+1 = M^2,  f);

Maple shows 

A^2-2*sqrt(M^2)+1

Maple cannot replace A^2+1

Hi, experts

I have an array which is empty, say

f:= []:

is there away to check if it's empty? I want to do something like in Matlab:

if isempty(f)

......

end

Many thanks

Hi, experts,

I have an equations:

How to solve a, and b? It's easy to know that a = 2, b =5 though.

Many thanks! 

Hi, there, maple built-in help just has an example of Brusselator model in 1D case. But how can I intepreter the diffusion terms that Brusselator has in 2D case? Could you please give me an example of the code to run Brusselator simulation in 2D case?
