      <title>Hooray for Maple 11</title>

      <itunes:summary>I've got to say, I am super-excited by the announcement of Maple 11. Is there anything I need to do now in order to purchase a student copy in March, or will I be able to simply buy the upgrade for Maple 10 when it becomes available? I haven't even gotten to use all the features of Maple 10 yet...although this semester I'll be giving the numtheory package a workout. I'm a student at Arizona State University, and there are lots of professors who make extensive use of Maple in their advanced courses. Dr. Matthias Kawski (my instructor for general topology this semester) has an incredibly extensive library of Maple worksheets that I think may be hyperlinked on this site, and Dr. John Jones (a professor of algebra, number theory, and their applications) has a set of Maple labs that go with a book which he co-authored, Discovering Number Theory. I'm particularly interested in the new theoretical physics and differential geometry packages, as I hope to do research in the latter field and I'm immensely enthusiastic about the former (primarily general relativity). I'm also excited to see the advances that the research in Lie group methods for ODE's and PDE's can bring to the equation solvers. I do have a few questions which you may or may not be able to answer, but I figured I'd ask them anyway, as I'm having difficulty containing myself. Here they are:
&gt;
&gt; 1. Will the differential geometry package subsume the functionality of the tensor and/or differential forms package s?
&gt;
&gt; 2. Will there be any major changes and/or upgrades to the group package? Any new (abstract) algebra functionality?
&gt;
&gt; 3. Is the new differential equations package a successor to the DETools package?
&gt;
&gt; I guess that's all I've got for now. I'm a student of pure mathematics and don't have a lot of interest in applied or computational fields, but I must say, it is astounding and very exciting, as I learn more and more in school, to discover more and more amazing functions of Maple which are immensely useful for the study of pure mathematical structures. Please keep up the fantastic work.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Greetings.  Is there a spredsheet for Maple 11 that lists the operating systems that are supported.  Any information pertaining to multiple processor support, specifically quad core workstations running WinXP 64.  Any info would be appreciated.

      <itunes:summary>I hope that I can use the document mode. I found after using Math Type that the learning curve of Maple 10 was too steep. I have high hopes for Maple 11.
Cheers,

      <title>Maple 11 Platform support</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/42046-Maple-11s-New-Features?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Maple 11's New Features:Comments#comment86003</link>
      <itunes:summary>See &lt;a href="http://www.maplesoft.com/products/Maple11/system_requirements.aspx"&gt;http://www.maplesoft.com/products/Maple11/system_requirements.aspx&lt;/a&gt; for a list of Maple 11's supported platforms.  A 64 bit version of Maple 11 will not immediately be available for Windows, but the 32-bit Maple 11 will work under WinXP 64.  

Maple 11 has a "SMP" mode that will let you run arbitrary Maple code in parallel via a new &lt;i&gt;Threads&lt;/i&gt; package.  In addition, some platforms (including Windows and Linux) have special parallel numeric libraries.  Maple will detect machines with more than one processor allowing some built-in commands to execute in parallel.  Maple 11 will be able to leverage all 4 "processors" on a quad core workstation.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Hi,

&gt; 1. Will the differential geometry package subsume the functionality of the tensor and/or differential forms package s?

Yes, in that DifferentialGeometry (DG) turns obsolete these other package you mention, though not entirely in Maple 11.

&gt; 2. Will there be any major changes and/or upgrades to the group package? Any new (abstract) algebra functionality?

I am not sure what you mean by abstract algebra and some of that I believe is already in DG. Could you be more precise?

&gt; 3. Is the new differential equations package a successor to the DETools package?


There is no new differential equations package, though PDEtools duplicated its size with a new module for symmetries for PDEs, and DEtools has a module for symmetries since 1997, so I guess you are asking whether the new PDE symmetries routines are replacing the old ones in DEtools?

If so, the answer is: no. The old symmetry routines - only for ODEs, not PDEs - have sophistications that will take some years to implement in the PDE sector. Even that day I believe there would be no reason to remove them because they are specialized and fast in a way it would be difficult to achieve with more general routines.

      <itunes:summary>Dear Doctor Cheb-Terrab,
could you tell me more about new Physics package capabilities?
Beyond the implementation of Kronecker's delta, what are the most significant and useful features of that package?

Many thanks in advance.
Regards.
