How can one find out when a Maple command or package became part of Maple? i.e. which Maple version first had this command or package?

For example, I'd like to know when applyrule https://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=applyrule was introduced. But this applies really to any command I see.

In Mathematica, this is easy to find out, since it is documented in the help page for the command, at the botton of each page when the command was added. Is there a command or a web page that shows this type of information about Maple commands and packages?

I have some data

I can plot the function with Theta=200 and d=0.035, I get approximately the right curve and no errors about complex values.

How can I solve for Theta and d without encountering this error?

Hello,

Lets say I have some expression F that is a function of n and N like, F=n+N-1 and I want to express that in terms of x, where x=n/N. How would I do this in maple? Thanks in advance. 

Hi, I am trying to plot a parabola in spherical coordinates using the command spacecurve, using 

>with(plots);

>spacecurve([cot(phi)/sin(phi), 1.61, phi], phi = -3.14 .. 3.14, numpoints = 3000, axes = normal, coords = spherical, color = red, linestyle = dash, axes = normal)

(I know it is easier in Cartesian coords, but I am doing this as a first version of a more complicated curve, given by the sol. of a system of differential equations). 

Maple plots the parabola correctly but it joins the initial and the final points of the plot with a straight line, yielding something that looks like a U with a bar on top (I cannot upload the image). Is there any way to get rid of the line?

This came up in another language. I tried to solve it in Maple, but I am newbie so did not know how to.

The problem is to remove all products of  "a^n*b^m" that shows up in an expression, including any powers of "n,m". For example, given these three expressions

f0 := a^4+4*a^3*b +6*a^2*b^2+4*a*b^3+ b^4;
f1 := 3*(a*b -2*c);
f2 := (a*b -2*c)/(c - a*b);

Then applying the transformation needed, will result in

f0:= a^4+b^4;
f1:=-6*c;
f2:=-2;

Becuase the transformation will detect any a^n*b^m and simply replace this product by zero 
from the resulting expression. So "a*b^2 + 2" will become "2", and so on.

I assume a function such as "patmatch"  or "match" is needed. I tried, but could not figure how. 
I also tried algsubs. How would this be coded in Maple?

Hi,

1st post. I'm trying to integrate the following function:

h:=t->(2*t-1)*cos*sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6)/(sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6));

h:=t->(2*t-1)*cos*(sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6))/(sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6));

h:=t->(2*t-1)*(cos*(sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6)))/(sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6));

h:=t->((2*t-1)*(cos*(sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6))))/(sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6));

int(h(t),t); ** Integration command. I've also replaced the "h(t)" with the entire function.

I've tried the following:

1. Changed the "t" to "x" throughout function.

2. Added parens around sqrt portion.

3. Added parens to include "cos" and then added to include the beginning (2*t-1).

4. I've added brackets around the numerator but this just causes Maple to reprint the function with the inegration sign in front of the function.

5. I've also tried using the Integration tutor. It returns that maple is unable to calculate.

6. Repeat all the above in Maple 2015, same answer.

I always get cos(t^2-t).

The math book claims the answer is 1/6*sin*sqrt(3*(2*t-1)^2+6). When I perform the inegration on paper I get the same answer.

Any suggestions or corrections would be great.

Thank you,

Jay.

A prime producing polynomial.

Observations on the trinomial n² + n + 41.

by Matt C. Anderson

September 3, 2016

The story so far

We assume that n is an integer.  We focus our attention on the polynomial n^2 + n + 41.

Furthur, we analyze the behavior of the factorization of integers of the form

h(n) = n2 + n + 41                                          (expression 1)

where n is a non-negative integer.  It was shown by Legendre, in 1798 that if 0 ≤ n < 40 then h(n) is a prime number.

Certain patterns become evident when considering points (a,n) where

h(n) ≡ 0 mod a.                                             (expression 2)

The collection of all such point produces what we are calling a "graph of discrete divisors" due to certain self-similar features.  From experimental data we find that the integer points in this bifurcation graph lie on a collection of parabolic curves indexed by pairs of relatively prime integers.  The expression for the middle parabolas is –

p(r,c) = (c*x – r*y)² – r*(c*x – r*y) – x + 41*r².           (expression 3)

The restrictions are that 0<r<c and gcd(r,c) = 1 and all four of r,c,x, and y are integers.

Each such pair (r,c) yields (again determined experimentally and by observation of calculations) an integer polynomial a*z2 + b*z + c, and the quartic h(a*z2 + b*z + c) then factors non-trivially over the integers into two quadratic expressions.  We call this our "parabola conjecture".  Certain symmetries in the bifurcation graph are due to elementary relationships between pairs of co-prime integers.  For instance if m<n are co-prime integers, then there is an observable relationship between the parabola it determines that that formed from (n-m, n).

We conjecture that all composite values of h(n) arise by substituting integer values of z into h(a*z² + b*z + c), where this quartic factors algebraically over Z for a*z² + b*z + c a quadratic polynomial determined by a pair of relatively prime integers.  We name this our "no stray points conjecture" because all the points in the bifurcation graph appear to lie on a parabola.

We further conjecture that the minimum x-values for parabolas corresponding to (r, c) with gcd(r, c) = 1 are equal for fixed n.  Further, these minimum x-values line up at 163*c^2/4 where c = 2, 3, 4, ...  The numerical evidence seems to support this.  This is called our "parabolas line up" conjecture.

The notation gcd(r, c) used above is defined here.  The greatest common devisor of two integers is the smallest whole number that divides both of those integers.

Theorem 1 - Consider h(n) with n a non negative integer. 

h(n) never has a factor less than 41.

We prove Theorem 1 with a modular construction.  We make a residue table with all the prime factors less than 41.  The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that any integer greater than one is either a prime number, or can be written as a unique product of prime numbers (ignoring the order).  So if h(n) never has a prime factor less than 41, then by extension it never has an integer factor less than 41.

For example, to determine that h(n) is never divisible by 2, note the first column of the residue table.  If n is even, then h(n) is odd.  Similarly, if n is odd then h(n) is also odd.  In either case, h(n) does not have factorization by 2.

Also, for divisibility by 3, there are 3 cases to check.  They are n = 0, 1, and 2 mod 3. h(0) mod 3 is 2.  h(1) mod 3 is 1. and h(2) mod 3 is 2.  Due to these three cases, h(n) is never divisible by 3.  This is the second column of the residue table.

The number 0 is first found in the residue table for the cases h(0) mod 41 and h(40) mod 41.  This means that if n is congruent to 0 mod 41 then h(n) will be divisible by 41.  Similarly, if n is congruent to 40 mod 41 then h(n) is also divisible by 41.

After the residue table, we observe a bifurcation graph which has points when h(y) mod x is divisible by x.  The points (x,y) can be seen on the bifurcation graph.

< insert residue table here >

Thus we have shown that h(n) never has a factor less than 41.

Theorem 2

Since h(a) = a^2 + a + 41, we want to show that h(a) = h( -a -1).

Proof of Theorem 2

Because h(a) = a*(a+1) + 41,

Now h(-a -1) = (-a -1)*(-a -1 +1) + 41.

So h(-a -1) = (-a -1)*(-a) +41,

And h(-a -1) = h(a).

Which was what we wanted.

End of proof of theorem 2.

Corrolary 1

Further, if h(b) mod c ≡ = then h(c –b -1) mod c ≡ 0.

We can observe interesting patterns in the “graph of discrete divisors” on a following page.

Hello all..

Im sharena and i am solving ODE BVP by using maple. i used this command to solved the equation..

However, i dont know which method this programm solved my ODE. Is it RK45 method??

Walking into the big blue Maplesoft office on August 3^rd was a bit nerve wracking. I had no idea who anyone was, what to expect, or even what I would be doing. As I sat in the front hall waiting for someone to receive me, I remember thinking, “What have I gotten myself into?”. Despite my worries on that first day, interning at Maplesoft has been a great experience! I never knew that I would be able to learn so much about programming and working in a company in such a short amount of time. Although Maple was a programming language that was foreign to me a couple weeks ago, I feel like I’m relatively well versed in it now. Trying to learn a new language in this short timespan hasn’t been easy, but I think that I picked it up quickly, even if I’ve had my fair share of frustrations.

Chaos Game example on Rosetta Code

At Maplesoft, I’ve been contributing to the Rosetta Code project by writing short programs using Maple. The Rosetta Code project is dedicated to creating programming examples for many different tasks in different programming languages. My summer project has been to create solutions using Maple for as many tasks as possible and to post these to Rosetta Code; the goal being to have the list of tasks without Maple implementation shrink with each passing day. It’s nice to feel like I’m leaving a mark in this world, even if it is in such a small corner of the internet.

Flipping Bits example on Rosetta Code/MapleCloud

This internship, of course, came with its share of challenges. During my work on the Rosetta Code project, I posted solutions for a total of 38 tasks. Some of them were easy, but some of them took days to complete. On some days, I felt like I was on top of the world. Everything I made turned out great and I knew exactly how to tackle each problem. Other days were slower. I’ve spent ages just staring at a computer monitor trying to figure out just how on earth I was going to make this machine do what I wanted it to do! The 24 Game task was particularly hard, but also very educational. Through this task, I learned about modules, a concept previously unknown to me. I’m fairly sure that the 24 Game also took me the longest, whereas the Increment a numerical string task took me no time at all. Despite it being easy, the Increment a numerical string task wasn’t particularly fun; a bit of a challenge is required for something to be entertaining, after all. My personal favourite was the Fibonacci n-step number sequences task. It was the first really challenging task I encountered, and for after which the feeling of finally completing a task that I spent so long on, of finally overcoming that mountain, was extremely satisfying. Not all challenges end in satisfaction, however. I often found myself accidentally doing something that made the window freeze. I would close the program, then cry a bit on the inside when I realized I just lost the past half an hour’s worth of unsaved work. Nevertheless, I’m glad I got to face all these obstacles because they have made me more resilient and a better programmer.

The following is the code for the Fibonacci n-step number sequences task

numSequence := proc(initValues :: Array)

	local n, i, values;
	n := numelems(initValues);
	values := copy(initValues);
	for i from (n+1) to 15 do
		values(i) := add(values[i-n..i-1]);
	end do;
	return values;
end proc:
 
initValues := Array([1]):
for i from 2 to 10 do
	initValues(i) := add(initValues):
	printf ("nacci(%d): %a\n", i, convert(numSequence(initValues), list));
end do:
printf ("lucas: %a\n", convert(numSequence(Array([2, 1])), list));

Maple was a great software to program with and a fairly straightforward language to learn. Having previously programmed in Java, I found Maple similar enough that transitioning wasn’t too difficult. In fact, every once in a while when I didn`t know what to do for a task, I would take a look at the Java example in Rosetta Code and it would point me in a direction or give me some hints. While the two languages are similar, there are still many differences. For example, I liked the fact that in Maple, lists started at an index of 1 rather than 0 and arrays could an arbitrary starting index. Although it was different from what I was used to, I found that it made many things much less confusing. Another thing I liked was that the for loop syntax was very simple. I never once had to run through in my head how many times something would loop for. There were such a wide variety of commands in Maple. There was a command for practically anything, and if you knew that it existed and how to use it, then so much power could be at your fingertips. This is where the help system came in extremely handy. With a single search you might find that the solution to the exact problem you were trying to solve already existed as a Maple command. I always had a help window open when I was using Maple.

Multiplication Tables example on Rosetta Code

Spending my summer coding at Maplesoft has been fun, sometimes challenging, but an overall rewarding experience. Through contributing to the Rosetta Code project, I’ve learned so much about computer programming, and it certainly made the 45 minute drive out to Waterloo worth it!

Hello Everyone,

May I ask you about this  "Error,   (in pdsolve/numeric/process_PDEs)  number of dependent variables and number of PDE must be the same". Does anyone have idea about solving linear instability equation (flow inside pipe, oscillating flow) ?

Thank you,

Hello, I need help in add/sum, there are two problems:

1. How we write triple summation (sigma) in Maple? (See pic)

I try sum(sum(sum or add(add(add but it isn't working.

2. How we write summation like in this pic?

I already try these syntax:

for e from 1 to 9 do

for k from 1 to 17 do

if i=(2*e-1) then next else

constraint12[2*e-1,k]:=add(x[2*e-1,i,k],i from i in T)=1

end if

end do

end do

For example, the expected result for e=2 and k=1 is like following equation:

x[2,1,1]+x[2,3,1]+x[2,4,1]+x[2,5,1]+...+x[2,17,1]+x[2,18,1]=1

But the result I get:

x[2,1,1]+x[2,2,1]+x[2,3,1]+...+x[2,18,1]=1

How to omit the x[2,2,1]?

Thank you.

pls help review this code, its doesnt return a solution
