Set the upper range for `m` to something like the exact integer 100. Set the upper range for u to the float 2.0 and leave everything else as is.</p> <p>Then click the "Explore" button on the pop-up.</p> <p>If Maple asks in another "Select Math Engine" pop-up, choose a New kernel connection.</p> <p>A new Document should appear. This should be able to run in new sessions, on its own, without the parent sheet from which you called the Explore(...) command.</p> <p>You can insert a style=line option into that pointplot call, if you want to make it look even more like the cited Mma demo.</p> <p><a href="/view.aspx?sf=100245/316683/mrb_explore.mw">Download mrb_explore.mw</a></p> The latest comments added to the Post, Fun interactive demonstration-paradox 100245 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 09:53:33 Z pagan pagan
