+1, thanks for the workaround. But I can't actually use this in my program, since I call int and not Int and the program is non-interactive and has to work for many inputs, so it has no idea what trick substituion to use or apply to bypass any issue it finds.

The function simply calls int, and if no error generated and if the integral evaluates, then it calls simplify on the result.

But I like your smart substitution. Unfortunately I can't use it in  my generic function.

@ the classic worksheet has not been part of Maple for many versions now. I do not remember the last Maple version which had the classic worksheet. 

I also liked it and used it all the time.  When it was removed, I had to use worksheet instead. I do not like document mode at all. It feels like I am working inside Microsoft word each time I try it.

I prefer simple and clean interfaces. Not too many bells and whistles and icons and flashy things around.

I do all my programming in Maple using plain texteditor any way. notepad++. And write everything in .mpl files. And use worksheet for quick code and help and to try things and build the .mla and start tests.

There is still a very basic missing feature in the interface, that I really do not understand why Maplesoft can't fix.

When running a long script/loop which prints stuff on the screen for debugging, the worksheet now locks up and will not let one click on the "Remove output from worksheet".

So as the script runs, the worksheet fills up and it seems to become slower and slow to scroll. It will be very useful to allow one to occasionally, if they want, clear the output from the worksheet while the script is still running.  

In Mathematica this is easily done. one can clear the output as it is running.

I do not see why it is so hard to do the same in Maple and why this option becomes disabled when running a command.

Is it possible to fix this in some minor release of Maple 2021? This will help alot.

And thanks for the new release. It has fixed a long standing problem with Maple finally. timelimit() is finally working correctly.

@ecterrab 

The change from Latex to latex() was simple. I had to change one line only in my code. Everything else working very well.

All the hangs that used to happen using timelimit() are fixed now. I am running a long script, that used to hang in few places, because timelimit() would not expire, now it work, and does expire. 

This for me is the most important fix in Maple, because it means I can now run longer scripts and not have to keep watching over it, and restart it when it hangs.

Thanks for this important fix and for any one else who worked at it in Maplesoft.

@Carl Love 

Sorry, I thought it is a reply to my comment as it was below it, that is I was confused by your reply.

@Carl Love 

I know it does not specify the number of terms. Where did I say it does?

I was simply asking for an example showing the issue.

Could you show an example, where order is different from powers on (x-x0)?  since normal use it is the same (difference by 1)

series(exp(x),x=x0,3)  

gives

I do not know why in this forum specially, folks do not bother taking little extra time to give an example to illustrate the issue they are having. An example always helps clarify the question.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

@Kitonum 

Thanks. I use [] all the time to index, but for some reason I used () here without noticing. 

But why did () work here for the column case and not the row case?

How could we reduce the size without losing any quality?

could you show/illustrate one such example?

pdetest is a name of a Maple command.   ?pdetest.

Not a good idea to name your own function with same name.

is it really hard to make a small minimal example of your table including code that generated it?  This will make it more clear what kind of table you are talking about.

@Kitonum 

Thanks for the workarounds. I know I can do the above ofcourse. But  this means I have to duplicate a very long string, which I do not want to do. Also, I could have more than one `if`(...)  

Here is an example

str:="A";
x:=10;
if x=10 then
   str:=cat(str,"some very long string here"," it was 10 ",
         "another very long string");
   x:=11;
else
   str:=cat(str,"some very long string here"," it was not 10 ",
         "another very long string");
   x:=9;
fi;

I use these string to build long Latex expressions.   Currently, I just build the string without the assignments, if any, and after that I check again outside, using standard if then else.   But it is awakward, since I duplicate the same check in two places.

@vv 

What exactly is the purpose of [] at the end of sort(...)[] command? I've seen it before, but I can't find any explanation of it in help as I can't find where this is explained.

I know   `%+`(sort(..)) does not work. It has to be `%+`(sort(...)[ ]) 

Is the whole thing a map like operation?

I am using Maple 2020.2

@robertocooper 

epspdf and pdfcrop are not Latex commands. These are commands to run from the terminal.   On Linux or on windows 10 under the Linux subsystems (Ubuntu). These are free/open source programs which can be easily installed.

it will be better to just type the differential equation here with any IC/BC instead of having one to read all that to figure which ODE you want solved.  I could not figure which ODE needs to be solved.

I know this form does not allow Latex, which is a pity for a forum supposed to be used for asking questions about math. Stackexchange supports Latex.
