## How to define a custom symbol in maple?...

I wondering if it is able to create a new symbol in maple, like it is possible to create a custom snippet in the pallets. Speceficly I am asking how to create a new symbol/charachter for 2D math. So if anyone knows please tell me :)

## How to put degree symbol on tickmark?...

Suppose that I have a plot:

plot(sin((1/180)*Pi*x), x = -180 .. 180)

I want to add a degree symbol after the tickmarks on the x-axis.  One approach which seem promising is to add a plot option for the x-axis:

axis[1] = [tickmarks = [90 = typeset("90", degree)]]

where "degree" is replaced by a code for the degree symbol. Maple is helpful here because I can point and click using the Common Symbols palette and insert a degree symbol. However this does not work delivering an error "Error, invalid neutral operator". This error is undocumented.

I can insert a Pi or an infinity symbol. If I want to I can put a degree sysmbol into ther title, but apparently not on the axes.

## Assigning vector of symbols...

Hey,

I want to assign a value to a symbol stored in a vector. I know the position of the symbol in the vector. Is there an easy way to do this?

Here to illsutrate my problem:

 > restart:
 > vec:=:
 > vec(1):=1;    # expected result: a:=1
 (1)
 > a;            # expected result: 1
 (2)

## Comparison of element-wise operators and map funct...

Hello,

I have just discovered the existence of element-wise operators which uses the symbol tilde

In the help, I saw this exemple

sin~(<1,2,3>);
Vector[column](%id = 18446744073926346622)

which is identic to a result that I can find with map function :

map(sin,<1,2,3>);
Vector[column](%id = 18446744073926346982)

What can Element-wise operators bring more than the map function ?

Do you often use this symbol ?

Thanks a lot for your information.

## How to make a command based on symbols?...

I a working with circuits, and was wondering whether or not it might be possible to shorten the proces of calculating parallel resistors. My idea is that using some symbol, such as || would find the equivalent resistor.

My idea is based on the fact that CrossProduct can also be done using &x command. Like so.

CrossProduct(a,b) = a &x b

So for resistors it would look something like:

Parallel(a,b) = a || b

For those interested the function for parallel resistors would be:

Parallel := (a,b) -> 1/(1/a+1/b);

## How to convert string input to symbol?...

I run the following working maplet:

Where "muutujad" is a procedure I defined and which returns the three inputs in the form [TF1,TF2,TF3].

It works fine, but if I insert "theta" as input, it of course stays in the string form, not Θ. Even if I copy the symbol and paste it in the textfied, it doesn't accept the symbol. Is there any way I can convert the text input to actual symbol?

## Vector of symbolic variables...

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know if it was possible to store symbolic variables in a vector because I have a function of 10 variables which I want to write with Σ, Π and A(l), A being my vector of symbolic variables...

## How to use matrix symbol directly in equation deri...

Hi, I hope to use symbol A, B, directly to get C derivation, without using elements forms of matrix, as shown below.

How to achieve this?

Thank you.

## How to combine Greek letters and math in labels?...

Hi,

I am trying to use implicit plot. The plot is OK but I want to put labels such as what Latex produces :

$\frac{\Omega}{\omega_n}$ for x axis and $a_0 \mathrm{(m)}$ for y axis

How can I apply this in my maple code as below:

plot1:=implicitplot(a3, Omega_r=1.5..2.5, a=0.00000001..0.1, labeldirections=[horizontal, horizontal], axes=boxed, labels=["W/w_n",typeset("a_0 (m)")], labelfont=[SYMBOL]):

What I have put as bold does not work for me, it is making everything in Greek :) . I want combination of Greek and math.

Thasnks,

Bahareh

## MAPLE SYMBOLS DON'T WORK...

Hi,
There a lot of symbols that don't work in Maple.
The symbols that dont work are shown as an "A".
Almost half of the symbols in the pallets are shown as an "A".

## Mixing computed values and "written math"...

Dear Maple users

I have a question which is maybe easily solved, but I cannot seem to find the solution myself. A vector X of coefficients has been computed earlier in the Maple document and I want these coefficients placed in front of some written symbols in order to make Maple display the final result in a nice way. I made an attempt with the Vector command as shown in the image, but I cannot make the indices start at -2. In addition I want some written math placed in front of the expression. In fact I want it displayed like shown on the image marked with a red rectangle. I did write this manually, but want Maple to do it automatically when given the coefficients vector calculated earlier. I hope someone can help me here!

(It is about finite difference methods, by the way)

Regards,

Erik

## How do I insert the Q.E.D. symbol in Maple 18?...

I just started my Calculus I class and I have a project to prove some various theorems. Maple rocks for this.

How can I insert the Q.E.D. symbol (looks like a little black square) at the end of my proofs?

## why is there Pi and pi in Maple? Why not just Pi?...

one of the most confusing thing for me with learning Maple, is pi vs. Pi. I keep mixing them up since do not remember half the time which one to use.

What is the point of having both? Mathematica only has Pi. If one wants numerical value for it, simply do N[Pi] which is similar to Maple evalf(Pi).

I just spend 5 minutes trying to figure why int((sin(x))^3*sin(k*x),x=-pi..pi); was giving me

While in Mathematica it gives

Then I noticed the Pi vs. pi, and now Maple gives same output.

Why pi was even introduced? was this done early on, or added in later versions? Why not keep Pi a symbolic and with evalf it gives numerical value as with Mathematica? Also, would one use pi?  It if just symbol (evalf(pi)) does nothing, then what is its use? if I can see a good use for pi vs. Pi, may be I'll understand the logic behind this duel system.

## How do I refer to the symbol name passed as argume...

Hi experts

In a procedure with no declared parameteres I would like to return (print) the passed arguments (expecting Matrix structures) in a modified form along with the name of the symbol holding the structure passed as arguments.

That is, the procedure just iterates through the _passed arguments in a for-loop to display the name of the the passed argument (the symbol), a colon and then the modified matrix structure.

My problem is that when looping from i to _npassed arguments, refering to _passed[i] gives me the evaluated form.Tat is what I need to modify the structure but not to list the symbol name.

Say I wanted to print a transposed version of my passed matrices. Then I would call

M:=<<1,2>|<3,4>>;

myProc(M);

And the result I want would be

M:

But I don't know if _passed holds the symbol names or just the evaluated versions of the passed arguments??

And theoretically the passed argument (assuming a matrix) could be the matrix structure put directly in the procedure call, in which case there is no symbol to refer to.

I hope you get my question and can help me out.

Thanks

Simon

## Help! Maple 18 wont write essential math symbols: ...

Just got Maple 18 on academic license. I've used Maple 15, 16 and 17 before this.

It wont write simple math symbols as + - * and :=

I have tried both document- and worksheet, reinstalling and so on...

What is the problem?

Thanks
