Sometimes when I am browsing this site I have both Maple 10 & 11 open concurrently to see if I get similar results to the various post in both versions. Are there any potential problems in doing this? I am using a Mac (power pc) OS 10.39. Thanks, Thomas

I just created a document for a lab I'm doing and when I went to print preview all the graphs and diagrams I have are chopped off. I just typed everything and spaced it out on the space available to me in Maple (a lot because its widescreen), assuming the edges were the margins like in ms word. But now I can't print without lopping off all my diagrams and squishing everything beyond recognition. Is there a way to format my page or scale everything down to fit? I can upload the file if need be.

Hi, I am trying to plot the same vector field in two coordinates Cartesian and polar. Let's say the field in Cartesian coordinates

Good Morning (Germany anyway ;-) ), I'm preparing a class room note and want to display a simple algebraic expression _before_ it executes, like: (a^5+b^5)/(a+b) How can I ask MAPLE to just redisplay it in textbook like manner? thanks a lot for your help! Walter

In the admirable quest to make Maple better and stronger, and since so few people responded to the Suggestion to add a searchable bug database here on mapleprimes, here's another tack.

What are the fewest keystrokes that can make the TTY commandline interface of Maple 10.06 or 11 crash?

By crash I mean something like bus-error or segmentation-fault, stack-limit-exceeded, or lost-kernel-connection. I don't mean a runaway computation that simply consumes all...

Hello, i'm in need of some help. I'm searching how to use the library browser to create a module usable with with(). In fact i have to learn how to add or remove function to an existing library. And when i use the assistant, i see int the window a module and when i double click on the module i enter in it and i can see the fonction inside it. But when i add some functions in .m files the assistant add them in the root and not in the module. To express it clearly watch the figure Module And i want Module | |

I have a real polynomial, p(x). I want to know only, if it has a positive root? Is it possible to answer this question without the sturm command?

I read the help material for the roots command, but apparently don't understand it correctly. I've tried roots(x^2+x+1,I) and roots(x^2+x+1, complex) and the only thing returned is [ ]. How do I use the roots command to get complex roots? Thanks.

When I enter solve(x^4-x^3+1) I get 4 RootOf place holder solutions. For example RootOf(_Z^4-_Z^3+1, index = 1). This is very frustrating because I'm trying to obtain answers not place holders, and I cannot figure out how to make Maple solve the problem. Is Maple perhaps trying to tell me that it cannot solve the problem? If not, how do I force Maple to return answers instead of place holders, on this and similiar problems? Just as there is the quadratic equation for obtaining solutions to second degree equations, I understand that there are standard equations for solving cubics and quartics so I would be surprized if maple cannot solve x^4-x^3+1 symbolicly.

Working in usual programming languages there is a largest machine epsilon
with 1 + epsilon != 1.

Now I am working with floats in Maple and want something similar: given a
real constant x (as positive floating point number) and m:=floor(log10(x))
(= ilog10(x) scales the x (down or up) to be of size 1). 

My question is:

Does the following always evaluate to "true"

  x + epsilon = x; evalf(eval(%, epsilon= 1/10^(Digits-m)));

and to "false" if taking m+1 instead?


Sorry, stupidly can not find the answer in the docu ...

This is an error message when using printlevel with the RKF45 solver Many thanks

Hi, i'm a french student, i hope a little help. (sorry for my english) How can i make a 3d graph of an array with 2 variables ? I have try plot3d: plot3d(array[x,y], x=1..10, y=1..10); and then: Warning, unable to evaluate the function to numeric values in the region; see the plotting command's help page to ensure the calling sequence is correct. In the help, it is said that plot works only with functions. Maybe i have to built a function with the array... I don't know in fact! Thanks for your help

How to obtain the coefficents?? Many thanks in advance!

Hi.... I am facing some problem in solving a Non-linear differential equation using Maple 11. So many times maple 11 doesnot execute the command and comes out. Sometimes, it just says evaluating for a long time and nothing happens. I would be very happy if you can give me the solution of the same with an example. Regards Sripad
