I'm very new to this... I need to find the total derivative of y=(a-3)/(b+3) given that a=r*t and b=s*t

This is in a similar vein to the Diet problem (integer programming), but harder.

This guy has solved this problem using 3 programs, Maxima and LPsolveIDE and Excel:

A text file generated by maxima is fed into LPSolveIDE ...

How do I edit a large proc to replace a couple of lines or add a few more if I don't save it and the screen was cleared?  Am I out of luck and have to retype it all back in?

And how do I substitute in a proc n_pts<5 to n_pts<5  or say substitute i=50 to i=30 .  I'm stuck with the operators.  I thought using delayed evaluation would work.  ie/  newproc:=subs( 'i=5' = 'i=30' , eval(newproc))

How can I encode to mp3?  Maple's AudioTools package only includes WAV file formats.  I would think by now Maple 15 would have included the mp3 format seeing that it is so standard. 

None-the-less, I feebly started to embark on what I thought would be a quick two step process - 1 - find the mathematics involved and 2 - code in Maple.  My searches brought me to some good information at www.mp3-tech.org ...

int(cos(a*z)/(z^2-4*z+8), z, method=contour)

why run in maple 15, unknown options method = contour

is it default to use contour?

but the result is the same as done by hand, i mean the answer from the book,

int(cos(a*z)/(z^2-4*z+8), z) return contain some Si  and Ci

When Benoit Mandelbrot was still alive I sent him an email:

Hi,
I am writing to you because I have trouble understanding why
the covariance function in the Fractional Brownian Motion (FBM) is given by:

(t[i]^(2*H)+t[j]^(2*H)-abs(t[i]-t[j])^(2*H))/2)

I would be very grateful if you could please explain this to me in simple and step by step terms.
I understand simple ARIMA models (P(t)=P(t-1)+E(t) where E(t)=p*E(t-1)+r(t)) which have the
same...

No, I'm willing to bet it's about as random as flipping a coin.  You might say, huh?!  I think my theory is interesting but this isn't really a maple question although perhaps we can make it into one, it would be that much more interesting.  I haven't done so yet, but anyone is welcome to.

With practice, I can flip a coin and get 30 heads in a row no problems.  Now say for a roulette wheel operator who uses it constantly, you don't think he's gained...

Ok If R is the Cholesky decomposition of the Covariance matrix then I need:

i) Cov=R*R'
ii) R'=R

I can show that i) indeed holds but ii) does not seem to work. Why?

restart:
with(LinearAlgebra):
Cov := Matrix([[.1, .2], [.2, 1.3]]);
Ap := LUDecomposition(Cov, 'method' = 'Cholesky');

Cov = Ap.Transpose(Ap);
Ap = Transpose(Ap)

In feedback control I want to isolate the fraction that defines my system: output/input.

This cannot directly be done by solve, isolate or simplify  in any of my attempts. What I've done is to follow the solutions for the following problem: http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/37686-Isolating-Variable-Quotient

But my problem is apparently a little more hairy, since solving...

I am looking for a way to check if multiple variables are different. Let's say I have 4 variables named a, b, c and d. You can do it with "a!=b and a!=c and a!=d and b!=c and b!=d and c!=d", but it quickly becomes impractical when you have more variables.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks!

Good afternoon

i have problem with that program, because it's too slowly, i can't plot and i I have difficulty in keeping the processed data vector.

this program in matlab 12 seconds delay.

Thank you for your help

How to do this with Maple? Is it possible?

Hello, I'm trying to solve a very long system of equations, I've used PolynomialSystem and works, but it does not give me all of the solutions of the system. Im trying to do the solve comand, but after a few hours the mserver crasher and it needs to close, without having an output.

I woul really appreciate if anyone has a solution for this, I need to solve this and I'm getting stuck with this.

I'm attaching my worksheet  

Hi, I am very new to Maple and i was using Maple with a code that was running well when suddenly the rand() function that i use started to fail. and i get the error:

> rand();

Error, empty number

also i get many aditional errors in some sentences where i am addressed to some '?' simbols which are supposed to be in my sentendes.

has anyone gone trhough that? any help will be appreciated.
