I received my Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1998 and I have been teaching since then at SUNY Oneonta for 1 year, at Shepherd University for 5 years, at Tennessee Tech for 2 years, at Lane College for 1 year, and this year I taught at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. My research interests include Representation Theory and Combinatorics.

I don't exactly understand what you mean by points system. Perhaps, acer can answer that. I see him around. I am good, but acer is better.

Did you try that in Standard Maple? As far as I remember, In Maple 12 it was better than in Classic. I have Maple 12 discs, but didn't have time to install them yet (because I don't use Maple personally). I might try to do that later though - and not just to help you :)

Did you try converting the whole worksheet to LaTeX? As far as I recall, the resulting eps files looked better (at some point in Maple history) - at least were not rotated by 90 degrees.

The usual recommendation is the books that come with Maple. Shamelessly, I might also recomend the beginning of my Abstract Algebra manual and a very simple (but with a lot of great responces that I got), Probability and Statistics programs.

The fonts that you get that way may look bad as well (I didn't test that.) Usually people just create plot without tickmarks or any other text in Maple, and then add tickmarks and othetr text in Adobe Illustrator. Last time I did that (a couple, or maybe, 3 years ago), the results were satisfactory,  and definitely much better than trying to use Maple for Pi or some other text.

There are differences between MaplePrimes, LinkedIn, and Maple Wiki.

MaplePrimes site is good if you have a quick question and need a quick answer.

LinkedIn Maple network is not a question answering group, it is a network of professionals working with Maple, who either has an account on LinkedIn or wants to have such an account. The main purpose of it to get to know each other and to work on some joint projects together.

Maple Wiki is also not a question answering group, it is a wiki. Currently it is rather small, and duplicating some of mine and other people's blogs here, but if more people participate, it could me more valuable.

The advantages of a wiki comparing to this site is that everything is editable, all the time, while on this site some people can't edit anything after it was posted, and some other people can edit their own posts if they were not replied to. Also, from my point of view, both math and Maple examples look better in Maple wiki comparing to this site.

Originally I was pessimistic about wiki (and I don't even want to provide a link to my original post about the wiki idea), but being a pessimist, as it is well known, has a nice side that in any case you are either right, or get pleasantly surprised. Thus far, even with much less people actually working on wiki rather than talking here about that, I would say that I was pleasantly surprised.

An example of that, including the use of a second procedure for initializing of the arrays, is in my The Eratosthenes Sieve post.

1. There are many reasons. One of them is that I don't like LinkedIn.

2. While it is independent of Maplesoft, it is dependent on LinkedIn.

3. On this site, I think, Maple Wiki is promoted enough. I'd like to have a link on the Maplesoft site.

4. I don't like Google, too. Mapleadvisor site also could provide members with personal webspace and groop project collaboration tools if there were somebody interested in that. The ACL (access control lists) in wiki provide control on who can read and who can write certain pages.
