This page from the Online Help suggests that GMP 4.2.1 is still being used in Maple 15.

But the latest "stable" release is GMP 4.3.2, see release notes here (various fixes and improvements in the 4.3.xx series mentioned).

Perhaps this could be updated in a service release Maple 15.xx.

What happened to all the Maple 5 applications at the maplesoft application center? 

Why just the other day I was looking at them.  Very dissappointed to see them "removed".  In particular a series of applications for mapping. 

The drop down option for Maple5 has dissappeared. 

Are they gone?  Can you put them back?

Since -1 = i^2 I thought that there could be some meaning behind "alternating" series that instead of beginning with (-1)^n begin with (a+b*i)^n, with real coefficients, for abs(a)<1 and abs(b)<1. I'm not sure but it seems that such series are absolutely convergent, because (a+b*i)^n -> 0+0I as n->infinity, hence the term utterly diminishing series instead of alternating series.

As an example,
Where sum((-1)^n*(n^(1/n)-1),n=1..infinity)= 0.187859642462067120248... ,

It still seems that the original post won't accept new replies, so I'm starting a new post.

The maplecloud may in some respects reduce the sharing of applications on mapleprimes and at the maplesoft application center.  A maplecloud user may instead of sharing his application via mapleprimes applications or the maplesoft website may just make his worksheet publicly available over the cloud simply because it's easier to do. 

It is true that mapleprimes is a different type of serviece that allows the interaction of ideas/questions as well as the sharing...

Mapleprimes takes unusually longer to load than used to.  And some people complain about being emailed 3 x's I'm not sure it's fixed but I've noticed my page actually loading 3 times before it actually comes up.  I'm on dial up so I can notice things people on high speed won't notice.

One other thing possibly very important to the web program designers of this site.  If I load the mapleprimes web page and say stay offline, it does this 3 times. ...

 It seems I can't add a response to this message, so I added some detail to it.

 The first few convergents from the continued fraction expansion of the MRB constant are 0,1/5,3/16,31/165,34/181 and 65/346. If you were to use those convergents as terms of a generalized continued fraction, it would represent, approximately,

0+1/(0.20+1/(0.1875+1/(0.1878787+1/(0.187845+1/0.187861))))=1.83346...

 The best definition for the MRB constant that I know of is found at

I'm posting here because between the time I started writing and the time I wanted to post my answer, the question is no longer available (may be a network problem, a withdrawn question, don't know)

The first problem is that you write ASAP in the title of your question, very uncool.

Another problem is that you use "else if" instead of elif, with "else if" you need one "end if" for each if but with elif you only need one "end if" to close the...

I just got a smartphone, amazing. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a mapleprimes app to conveniently view and post messages from a smartphone or a smartpad or whatever? Any plans to set one up? (I'm on the android platform)

The other suggestion/question I have is: any plans (by Maple or others) to make a Maple calculator widget? I'm currently using RealCalc, which is great, but it  doesn't have the advanced term-grouping capabilities of the Maple calculator.

While doing some Maple plotting I found myself asking why a high-end scientific computation application like Maple, which is capable of essentially very high ("arbitrary") precision floating-point computation, sometimes makes only crude use of hardware precision plot drivers. I looked around a bit, and found that and related issues are not restricted to Maple.

Let's look first at Maxima. Here's my first example, in Maxima (not Maple) syntax,
