As a retired individual with degrees from German universities in mathematics/analysis and structural engineering, I spent my professional life in responsible positions in research, teaching, and practical application, working on the mathematical modeling of states and processes in real-world systems. Now I have the time to explore interesting mathematical problems using Maple. It is my professional curiosity that drives me.

On my journey of discovery through the Maple world, I now want to try out Maple's convenient features in the complex plane, something that used to be laboriously worked out and demonstrated on the blackboard with chalk. I couldn't find a suitable introduction in the help text. I'm interested in whether a package needs to be loaded and how to handle polynomials, series, and line integrals (I have a reasonable understanding only of the theory).

In the attached file, I want to calculate the integral Q1. Numerically, this is easy to do in Maple. For theoretical reasons, the exact result pi/e is known. However, a contradiction arises between command lines (4) and (5). Command (6) is also unsuccessful, as its exact result is unknown. What am I doing wrong?

Q1 := int(sin(Pi*x)/(x^x*(1-x)^(1-x)), x = 0 .. 1)

The plot in the attached file only works if the complete function expression is entered. If only the function name is entered, no plot appears. What am I doing wrong?test.mw

c(x)dsum(sin(10^k*x)/10^k, k = 1 .. 10^2)

I'm looking for the general solution to the attached differential equation. Maple doesn't provide it. What am I doing wrong?

restart

ode5 := diff(y(x), x) = (8*y(x)*b-32*b^2*x/y(x)-64*b^2*x^2*y(x))/(3*y(x)^2+8*b*x-16*b^2*x^2/y(x)^2)

diff(y(x), x) = (8*y(x)*b-32*b^2*x/y(x)-64*b^2*x^2*y(x))/(3*y(x)^2+8*b*x-16*b^2*x^2/y(x)^2)

simplify(ode5)

diff(y(x), x) = ((64*b^2*x^2-8*b)*y(x)^3+32*b^2*x*y(x))/(-3*y(x)^4-8*b*x*y(x)^2+16*b^2*x^2)

In the attached file, I want to transform (1) into (3) and back again (3) into (1). Attempts using CompleteSquare and expand in combination with other commands have failed. I would appreciate any advice.
