How do I simplify an expression involving square roots,

Mac Dude — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 14:37:12 Z

I have an expression Vector (result from a lengthy calculation) like the following:

It is obvious by inspection that a minimized for of this expression looks like this:

Proof:

But for the heck of it I can't get Maple to find that result by itself.

My attempts are in this worksheet: Maple_example.mw

TIA,

Mac Dude.

GUI is unresponsive

Jean-Michel — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 18:46:28 Z

Hello,

Under Windows 11 Pro the GUI of Maple 2026.1 stuck Maple totally.

I can't even open a new document.

In Maple 2026.0 everything was ok...

This .1 release is unusable on my computer. I didn't dare to ask until today.

Open windows task manager I see that OpenJDK platform binary is the culprit.

Then.. I do NOT know what to do.

If someone has an idea I will be very happy.

Thanks and best,

Jean-Michel

Numeric formatting ignored

Thomasbk — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:03:51 Z

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing what appears to be a problem with Numeric Formatting in Maple 2026.

I have a worksheet where I calculate a numerical value using evalf, for example:

evalf(1 - (3.7*90)/(10.4*3600))

which returns

0.4663461539

When I select the output and use the Context Panel → Numeric Format, for example:

Percent
2 decimal places

the preview in the math container changes accordingly (e.g. showing something like 0.45), but the actual numerical output below still displays as

0.4663461539

Changing the number format, decimal places, scientific notation, etc. seems to have no effect on the displayed output.

Even if not using evalf.

Is this the expected behavior in Maple 2026?

Does Numeric Formatting only apply to certain types of expressions or math containers?
Is there a known issue with formatting numerical output generated by evalf?
Am I missing a setting that enables formatting of worksheet output?

I have attached a screenshot illustrating the problem.

Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a very large system of nonlinear equations in Maple 2025, and the solver takes hours. Any Suggestions?

How to deal with this AI prompt error

C_R — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 19:54:59 Z

After starting Maple

I then tried simpler prompts like "Hello", simplify(x),...

For all prompts I get the same error message.
I am not a frequent AI user but this is the first time I see that.
Has anybody else experienced the same?

Can someone send me a prompt that should work?

(Model type was Simple.)

Update:

It seems that this error occurs, when a second instance of Maple 2026.1 is started and AI is consulted in this instance.
