MaplePrimes - answers and comments on Question, Inexplicable Error while solving for Steady State Solutions

typo: missing multiplication sign?

DTEdt:=aE*qE*A/(alpha+TR_SS)-muE*TE+rE TE   (1-TE/TEmax);

DTEdt:=aE*qE*A/(alpha+TR_SS)-muE*TE+rE*TE * (1-TE/TEmax);

Same Problem

I very recently Ran into the same problem. Which in my case is an improvement. Since previous time there was even no response. It does strike to me as weird. As I did the same command, with the same equations, in the same unaltered sheet only 2 weeks ago. And this error didn't occur. Did something go wrong in the update?

What update? Check kernelopts(version)

There haven't been any updates to Maple since 18-Nov-2012. (The date the update actually reaches your computer may vary from that.) You can check if yours has been updated by using the command kernelopts(version).

In the case posed in the original question, the absence of the multiplication operator turns the expression into nonsense. The fact that Maple has some response to it other than an outright error message is just bad luck.

Please post your worksheet in a separate thread, i.e. as a new Question.
