There are some "interesting" functions which I learned about in undergrad: the Weierstrass function is differentiable nowhere, and the 'Christmas-tree' function is continuous at the irrationals and not differentiable at the rationals.

I noticed that the urls for forum topics are of the form: beta.maplesoft.com/forum/forum_topic_urls The url is formed from the title of the topic. What happens when there are multiple forum posts with the same title? I assume the software is smart enough to deal with, but I wanted to make sure. I was going to do a test, but I figured I'd just ask instead. Darin

Is it possible to set a cookie to store my login information?

Or would engineering be under "Applied Science"?

I have added a new input filter as requested by Tom 4. When a new item is posted to MaplePrimes any hyperlinks that do not point to another MaplePrimes page will be modifed to open a new web browser window. For example, here is a link to maplesoft.com and Wikipedia. Also, here is a link back to my blog. If you have any feedback on this feature, please comment on this post.

Through Bill Page's post "Crazy Ideas", I was lead to a shopping site with the largest selection of math and other assorted "geek ware" I've ever encountered. The place is called CafePress and it's a general supplier of stuff to the student crowd. For those of you who want to declare your passion for all things mathematical, binary, or multi-threaded ...

Well, I was quite pleaseantly suprised by how much some people at the Maple Conference 05 knew about Maplets:-Tools Set and Get. Unfortunately, DocumentTools GetProperty and SetProperty were designed to be completely different for no appearent reason. Well, a reason was given, but I didn't buy it... Anyway, here is DougsDocumentTools, which works just like Maplets:-Tools Set and Get:

Early this season, after the Maplesoft team came out on the wrong side of a 13-6 loss, we were frustrated by the team's inability to score more runs. The previous year we averaged 14 runs a game. This started me wondering, just how many runs can our team expect with a given lineup? Suppose you assume that it takes three hits in an inning to start scoring runs. Now, let's assume you have five .500 hitters coming up to bat. What is the probability that you'll get 3 hits among those five batters, thus scoring one run?

Here are two illustrations for how one might want to check to see if g is the same as f. The attached file is a Maple 10 worksheet.

You may have noticed that we've introduced prizes to get people more involved ... bribery is not beyond this crew to make this site successful.

Respond to questions in the "How Do I? (Newbie)" or the "How Do I" forums and you will be eligible to win this great shirt.

Joe Riel and Thomas Richard posted in their blogs solutions to the latest IBM Ponder This challenge and some related questions. From the name of the attached files, one can deduct that Thomas Richard is user No. 50 and Joe Riel is user No. 84. Being curious about my user number, I also decided to attach a worksheet.

Forum pages do not seem to have a printer-friendly version option as the Maple FAQ section pages. Is it possible to add it? Alejandro

Chi^2 calculations above some "size" or "complexity", using Maple 9.5 and Global Optimization Toolbox (GOT), may produce after some time of calculation error messages like:

"Execution stopped: stack limit reached.
The kernel has been shut down. Further computation cannot be performed."

Seeking workarounds, I have looked for information at ?kernelopts for kernelopts(stacklimit), but it was not very useful:

"Limits may be raised or lowered. Maple limits may not be raised above any system defined hard limits. "
