Back when I was working at the University of Waterloo, I found several copies of a VHS tape sitting on a dusty bookshelf full of old Maple boxes and manuals. The tape's cover had a line drawing of Issac Newton on it and the title "Maple V: The Future of Mathematics".

There was...

I had originally planned for a light-hearted post on a recent customer visit that I recently made in Europe but in light of the events in Japan these past few days, it somehow seemed terribly inappropriate. Around the world, people are coming to grips with this recent series of disasters, but for us at Maplesoft, being part of the global Cybernet corporate team, there are very personal dimensions.

The good news is that all of our colleagues at Cybernet Systems, headquartered...

This year I am organizing East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD) 2011 at the University of Waterloo, on April 9th. 

ECCAD is a long running series of annual one-day meetings for those interested in...

Of 4000 daily visitors of the site pages Russian Maple ApCent (during the examination session) 3800 - Russian students, and only 100 - Ukrainian. Sad.

Here's a fun video that we discovered today.  A Maple user and music composer posted a video featuring one of his songs. As the description of the video states, it includes "Maple animations of parametric surfaces mixed up with modulo functions rendered in cylindrical coordinates."

The animations start at the 1:12 mark of the video. 

Introduction to this blog

From time to time, I find some problem with Maple. It is not always Maple's bug, sometimes it is just my mistake.

I am used to use "Submit Software Change Request " form, but I dont know how to trace my requests (and I even dont exactly remember which bugs I posted). Thus, I decided to publish my troubles in this blog.

Unless stated otherwise, all the troubles I specify bellow are obtained on the Mac OS X 10.5 PPC platform using Maple 14.01 ...

Hi! Russian Maple A Center running exactly 10 years.
Anyway, now it is visited daily by about 4000 students.
It is a pity that I develop the center alone.
But still, someone advertises Maple in Russia.
Paul Goossens, how are you?
Best regards!

My father’s first car when our family moved to North America was a 1970 Buick Skylark sedan, and the color was a majestic deep green. I was seven years old at the time and this was my first experience with a green car. It’s ironic that my life in North America started with a green car and has come full circle with green cars all over the place as far as my job is concerned. But of course, today’s green car is really about highly fuel efficient cars...

Hello.

I was thinking about how I have used Maple for making animations. Thinking about it, I remembered an animation that I made to motivate the students of a calculus course. With this animation, I was searching to show the students the power of Maple.

I would like to see other animations for getting new and interesting ideas to show the students.

If you want to upload some animations, we could do a funny post with many animations.

Read the abstract for this medical journal. It describes "Tai's Model" for determining the area underneath a curve. Apparently the article has received 75 citations.

Since sometime in 2006 I've been posting my thoughts of and discoveries concerning the MRB constant here on Maple Primes, and I will continue to do so. My hope, however, has been to publish some of my better ideas in a larger forum. I want to thank all of you for putting up with the roughness of many of my ideas when I first posted them. I still hope to refine and publish many of those rough concepts.

Here my first published paper.

As some of you know, I'm hoping to, some day, find a closed form expression for the MRB constant.

 Here is my latest little nugget.

Let x=MRB constant.

 = log(x) with an error< ...

I found this great post on Twitter today. Two fans of Maple dress up as Maple and MATLAB for halloween:

I know that lots of you are big fans of Maple, but how many of you would consider going out in public dressed as Maple?

    My first touch with Maple was in 1997,when I was in my undergraduate course.The software of maple was in three floppy disk.

    Since 2000,I becomes a teacher for mathematics .Now I am using it to compute the integrate,limits,etc.

To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world!

This post is a further development of my earlier question in reply to John's post. I have implemented a basic version of the CANDECOMP/PARAFAC algorithm referred to on Wikipedia and described
