I've got the following matrix :

A:=[<a,a-1,-b>|<a-1,a,-b>,<b,b,2a-1>] where <> are the column elements of A, a is  a real number defined on [0,1] and b^2=2a(1-a) 

a) to show A is an orthogonal matrix, I understand that I need A.Transpose(A)=Identity(3*3) but is there a way in which I can let a take a random real numbered value between 0 and 1? The rand() only returns an integer within a range. Directly multiplying A and Transpose(A) will return an expression in a, so what's the right approach?

b) from a) we can infer that A is a matrix that describes a rotation in e1,e2,e3 where these are the standard bases vectors in R3. How can I determine the rotation axis? The hint I've been given says I need to consider the Eigenvalues and eigen vectors but I don't quite understand how.

I have the function:   f(x,y) = 1/(sqrt(2*Pi)) * e^{-1/2(x^2+y^2)}

I need to take the total derivative of this function in maple, but I don't know the syntax.

So i got a procedure test, she is kind of numeric, i whant to optimaze test([.5, .5, .5], 1, 3, 100, 100, true, [x, 0, 0, 0, 0])=0 by x. But optinization substitutes x like a symbol, i tryed all methods but they all do the same.

f := proc (x) options operator, arrow; abs(test([.5, .5, .5], 1, 3, 100, 100, true, [x, 0, 0, 0, 0])-.4) end proc; Minimize(f(x));
%;
Error, (in test) cannot determine if this expression is true or false: 0 < -43.0+100*x

Can i some how use optinization on such procedure?

A created an overly complicated worksheet thaI can no longer open.  It's about 17 Mb, has several interactive plots and equations in it.  Is there a way to force Maple to open a worksheet without executing it?

(Lesson learned:  split this up into separate worksheets next time.)

I wish to use closed Newton-Cotes with n=2, also known as Simpson's Rule to numerically integrate an improper integral.

If it matters the integrand is (cos(2x))/(x^1/3), integrating between x=0..1

I've tried a few different (but similar) code but to no avail. Here is some stuff I've tried:

1.

with(Student[NumericalAnalysis]):

with(Student[Calculus 1]):

Simp1 := ApproximateInt(cos(2*x)/x^(1/3), x = 0 .. 1, method = newtoncotes[2]);

This gives me an output message that says "Float(infinity)".

2.

with(Student[NumericalAnalysis]):

with(Student[Calculus 1]):

Simp2 := int(exp(-x)/sqrt(1-x), x = 0 .. 1);

This doesn't have Simpson's rule as an option.

I think I'm on the right track with my first try, since I guess it wasn't tecnically an error message, but I'm not sure how to alter the code accordingly to get a numerical value instead. Thanks for any help.

Thanks.

Hi,

I got the Real and Imaginary of an expression J1 

assume(d,real):

Gamma:=0.04:tau:=10*Pi:j:=0:

J1:=(exp((1-I*d)*Gamma*tau)-1)/((1-I*d));

J1mod:=simplify((Re(J1))^2+(Im(J1))^2): (I works here this amont is real)

################

but when I change the expression  for J1 to be

J1:=((2*e^(-2^(-j-1)*(1-I*d))-e^(-2^(-j)*(1-I*d))-1)*exp((1-I*d)*Gamma*tau)-1)/((1-I*d)):

J1mod:=simplify((Re(J1))^2+(Im(J1))^2): 

J1mod here is complex(I dont know why? it doesnt separate the real and the im )

Any comments will help

Thanks

Hello everybody,

can somebody tell me how to use subscripts in textmode? 

Thanks for your help!

OK, what am I doing wrong here?

This polynomial can be factored by almost anyone who knows algebra:

factor(x^2+y^2+2*xy);

but Maple refuses:

 x²  + y²  + 2 xy

but if I pose the question this way:

ans := expand((x+y)^2);

factor(ans);

(x + y)²

I get the expected result.  What is wrong with how I am using the factor?

Hi,

I am new to maple. I want to write the following codes in Maple in a file and execute it. I am writing the code in matlab. thanks

for i =1:1:5

for j=1:1:5

M(i,j)=i+j;

end

end

thanks

I am trying to take a list of prime numbers that I already generated with the following:

L4:=NULL:

for i from 2 to 50 do

if nops(ifactor(i))=1 then L4:=L4,i end if:

end do;

[L4]

This gives me the primes bewteen 2-50, [2,3,5,7,11,13,17,23,29,31,37,43,47].  I want to write something that takes the products of my list like this

2*3=6

2*3*5=30

2*3*5*7=210

and so on through the whole list.  Any ideas?  I figured out how to take the product of 2*3, 2*5, 2*7 and so on, but I cant figure how to make it do 2*3, 2*3*7 and so on.

I am doing a presentation on Euclids infinite prime proof and thought it would be cool to write a maple program that will show his proof for a certain amount of prime numbers.

Thanks,  Matt

Hi,

When I show the context menu on maple 18 (CTRL click on mac or right click with a mouse) on an equation the system doesn't show the tutor or series options as written in the example I use.   (after having loaded the multivariate calculus as asked)

Is that an issue in my installation ?  Where do I have to place the cursor ?  Is the multivariate calculus module well loaded ?

Thanks for your help

Dear friends,

I would like to know the agorithm of isovle for solving 2 order equations for more than 3 variables.

I see that not all the solutions are shown for example for:

x^2+y^2=z^2+t^2

 Could you please help me with this?

hi,

I have bought maple18 student edition. I want to learn GPU programming through Maple. Please suggest how to do this. I have a notebook with i7 processor and NVIDIA geforce 750m graphics. I want to solve system of algebraic equations, integral equations etc in parallel using GPUs.

thanks

I am trying to simplify sums of a few LaguerreL polinomials of different n using the identities in the function advisor such as recurrsion relations. How does one go about in using the FunctionAdvisor identities when trying to simplify expressions containing orthogonal polynomials?
