Does anyone know why an "inline" Maple 10 plot exported as an eps figure (by right-clicking on the figure) is not compatible with the psfrag.sty package for LaTex? Oddly, writing the plot "directly" to an eps with the following commands does produce an eps figure that is compatible with psfrag.sty, i.e., the axes labels can be replaced with LaTex math symbols: > plotsetup(ps, plotoutput = `fig1.eps`, plotoptions=`portrait,noborder,height=5in,width=5in`); > plot(sin(x),x=0..1,labels=[x,y]); Looking in the eps files themselves, the "inline" version (%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0, Creator: FreeHEP Graphics2D Driver) writes the x axis label with

dcasimir asks for an efficient way to create a list of the first n primes, without invoking nextprime, etc. An easy way to do this is to use a do loop to build up a sequence term by term. However, as Alec points out, this is not an efficient technique in Maple. It runs as O(n^2), where n is the number of items in the sequence. A way to avoid the inefficiency is to forego building a sequence and instead insert the items into a table. Then, after exiting the loop, convert the table to a list.

My last post in "How Do I Newbie", and subsequent replies mistakenly appeared on the front page of the Maple Primes site. I don't know how this happened. Could anyone see if there's a possible glitch with the site or just my account ? I'm not sure if one of the options when creating posts is to choose the main page as one of the forums to post your topic. dc.

Hello. I badly know English and I ask to excuse. I use Maple10. I can not execute integration of complex{difficult} function. Ic:=int(A/(1+(r-r0)^2/A^2)*(1/sqrt(1-w0^2/r^2)),r=w0..infinity); Thanks for attention.

This is a copy of a post I made at the comp.soft-sys.math.maple newsgroup: I just installed the x86_64 version of maple 10 on my ubuntu linux desktop, but I can't figure out why xmaple won't run. Installing in the first place was a bit of a pain: I had to use the '-i console' parameter, and once it was installed, I had to chmod +x the executables and replace the maple10/jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin and maple10/jre.X86_64_LINUX/lib directories with links to my current java version's (1.5.0_06) directories. I had no problem activating, and plain old console 'maple' runs fine, but nothing happens when I try to run 'xmaple' or 'maple -x'. It just pauses for a second or two when I press return, and then ends. Now I know this distribution of linux isn't supported, but I don't see why it can't be made to work. Any suggestions?

Happy New Year everyone! I've kicked off the year with a new poll. T4.

I have a Primitive Polynomial over GF(2) of degree 8. p(x) = x^8 + x^6 + x^3 + x^2 + 1 I need to evaluate a root 'w' such that p(w) = 0 How do I do it?

I'm trying to solve a partial differential equation with two boundary conditions below.  The general solution contains arbitrary functions of the non-differentiated variable.  These functions are solved for and assigned but do not appear in the final solution return.  Can anybody help me with this?

It would be really nice if Maple would include PDF support in the future. More and more people are producing content directly in PDF (with pdflatex for example) rather than PS. PS isn't even directly supported on the Mac directly; it is always converted to PDF before it is displayed. Most printers can process and print a PDF file directly. Does anybody else wish Maple could produce PDF?

It is often difficult to use the Symbolic toolbox of Matlab (which is linked to the Maple engine). It can be difficult to read the input and output from the toolbox. To solve this problem, I have developed a graphical interface to the Symbolic toolbox as I describe below.

Following are coupled PDEs governing the system. c1 ∂_x1S11 + c2 ∂_x1S22 + c3 ∂_x2S12 = 0 --- (1) c2 ∂_x2S11 + c1 ∂_x2S22 + c3 ∂_x1S12 = 0 --- (2) ∂_{x2 x2}S11 + ∂_{x1 x1}S22 - 2 ∂_{x1 x2}S12 = 0 --- (3) where c1, c2, and c3 are constants. S11, S22, and S33 are 2-dimensional field. And boundary conditions are appropriately defined. In fact, Eq.(1) and (2) are the equilibrium equations and Eq.(3) is the compatibility equation of 2D static strain-stress problem. I don't have any experiences on constructing finite difference equations of coupled

Maplesoft should have free recorded webinars available for customers, as The Mathworks does. The main problem people have with Maplesoft products is the lack of training. With recorded webinars you can get a general idea of how to use Maple to solve your engineering problems.

I'd really like better linear algebra support. I've been wanting some features that have been in Mathematica now for several years. I'd really like to be able to write out, c^T*B*c where c is a vector and B is a matrix without having to specify their size other than they are conforming. Then be able to manipulations on them such as differentiate with respect to c. I know that Mathematica can do this, and the lack of this support makes doing my work difficult. I had to do a lot of work to get around this problem when creating my symbolic finite element package. The other major thing that I've complained about before including in various places on Mapleprimes (but not in the suggestions forum) is better LaTeX export.

The exponential function behaves a little strange sometimes. This happens in Maple 9. It thinks that 0^0 is 1. I'm actually in agreement with that, although I've seen many a mathemtician argue that it should really be undefined. De gustibus non est disputandum. But it's strange that it think that 0^(1+I) is 0 but 0^I gives a divide-by-zero error, without mentioning that the division by zero occurs somewhere in a call to ln(x). It's something stupid, but a potential source of mystifying bugs in user code. Some CASes, such as Maxima, are smart enough to have a specific error for 0^z for complex z. Still others return NaN.
