Archimedes supposedlly, was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of pure gold. According to 

legend, he solved this problem by weighing the crown first in air and then in water. Suppose the scale read 7.84 N when the 

crown was in the air and 6.84 N when it was in water.

What should Archimedes have told the king ?

Hi! I have a matlab worksheet that i need to convert it to Maplesoft. Is it possible?

Take a look at below. I was expecting maple to give me "g'(1)"! :)

hi.i am a problem with following dsolve.please help me....thanks alot

dsys3 := {10*f2(x)+12*(diff(f1(x), x))+14*f3(x) = 0, 2*(diff(f1(x), x, x))+4*(diff(f2(x), x))+6*(diff(f3(x), x)) = 0, 16*(diff(f3(x), x, x, x, x))+19*(diff(f3(x), x, x))+22*(diff(f1(x), x))+25*f2(x)+27*f3(x)+29*f3(x)+31+32 = 0, f1(0) = 0, f1(1) = 0, f2(0) = 0, f2(1) = 0, f3(0) = 0, f3(1) = 0, ((D@@1)(f1))(0) = 0, ((D@@1)(f1))(1) = 0, ((D@@1)(f2))(0) = 0, ((D@@1)(f2))(1) = 0, ((D@@1)(f3))(0) = 0, ((D@@1)(f3))(1) = 0}; dsol5 := dsolve(dsys3, 'maxmesh' = 500, numeric, range = 0 .. 1, abserr = .1, output = listprocedure); fy3 := eval(f3(x), dsol5); fy2 := eval(f2(x), dsol5); fy1 := eval(f1(x), dsol5)ERROR.mw

Let N be an integer. 

For each pair of integers (n,m) where 1<= n,m <= N, we have a variable f_{n,m}(t). 

Then for these we have a system of ODEs 

d/dt f_{n,m}(t) = \sum_{n', m'} f_m'n' * f_m''n'' * (m'n'' - m''n') 

where m''=m-m', n''=n=n', and the sum is simply over for all pairs (n',m'). 

I simply do not know how to put these set of equations into Maple in a nice way. 

I will really appreciate any help!

1. Sketch the two vectors listed after the formula for r (t).
2. Sketch, on the same plane, the curve C dterminated by r (t), and indicate the orientation for the given values of t.
   
   r (t)=t*i +4*cos (t)j +9*sin (t)k,
   
   r (0), r(Pi/4),  t>=0
   
   

Cause CodeTools:-Test will not eval the paramater:

```
f := x -> x+1;

y := 2;

CodeTools:-Test( f(1), 2); # this will work as normal

CodeTools:-Test( f(1), y); # this will not work because `y` will not eval as 2

```

So current my solution is

```
test := subs(y=2, () -> CodeTools:-Test( f(1), y));

test();

```

I don't know is there any more proper solution for this.

More general, is there a way to force evaluate an `uneval` parameter?

the final result I want to get should be b*x

Thank you.

Hello. As you can see the minimum of set X is 2.

the time pair in set W whose difference is 2 corresponds to elements 54 and 55. How do i locate and print these automatically?

Good afternoon sir.

I request your kind suggestion to my cited query.

With thanks & Regards

I am a research student and I am writing up my thesis. I was reading one of the paper written earlier by authors in 2003.

The authors calculated a symbolic rank of a matrix A, and got 9, using Maple 6.

Then new methods developed in 2012 and proved that the "true" rank should be 8. The later paper that "Most  recent versions of Maple have this simplification built in and are able to return a rank of 8.".

I just noticed that in Maple 18.01, this matrix was still evaluted for a symbolic rank 9, if no simplifcaiton was done before using Rank(), see attached.

I didnt explore a lot, but just as a notice. I am a bit concerned as most of my research was trying to deal with exponentials.

Is that something to be fixed in future versions?

Thanks!

Hello,
Maple does not cancel out a variable.

Why is that?

Is there a way to solve this? 

(I pasted my code on the bottom of this message)

Thanks for your help/advice,

Stephan

restart:
M(x):=piecewise(x<=l,1/2*(q*x^2)/(EI)-3/8*(q*l*x)/(EI),l<x,1/2*(q*x^2)/(EI)-13/8*(q*l*x)/(EI)+5/4*(q*l^2)/(EI)):
M(x):=M(x)*(-EI);
# simplify() does not work.....?
M(x):=simplify(%) assuming EI>0;
# Wiht EI cancelled out by hand it schould look like:
M(x):=piecewise(x<=l,1/2*(q*x^2)-3/8*(q*l*x),l<x,1/2*(q*x^2)-13/8*(q*l*x)+5/4*(q*l^2));

EDIT 2: Ok, here is what I am trying to do with Maple.

I have the following expression:

with

and

 (j times)

Now the above expression should be zero. I get a set of equations in orders of lambda. The H matrices are known. I only need to find the S matrices.

Anyways, the HOffDiag is the sum above and the GetAdvCommutator0 is this nested commutator. And I need this sum evaluated up to order n (n is a given input-number) in lambda. The rest is really not that performance hungry.

EDIT: Ok, it realy seems that this sum of commutators is something that takes Maple forever. I have written a new MWE. Is it possible to speed things up? Maybe using assumptions or so?

Hi,

I know this question is really unspecific. However, since I am still new to Maple, and since you don't program with Maple as you would do with c++, I would appreciate some advise. I have written a program in Maple and I don't know if it works correctly. All I know is, it is pretty slow :(.

So if anyone of you could just have a short look at my attached worksheet and could tell me, if I at some point used an obvious "don't", I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers
