I use Maple-11 , especially the Physics and Tensor, Diff Geometry packages, in a worksheet. How do I get to create tensors with a uniform notation for covariant and contravarint indices using Create or Define ? I need tensors like, for instance, A superscript i, subscript j, as in McCONNELL (Abs. Diff Calculus) How do we get a uniform notation for tensors on a worksheet using either the Physics or Diff Geom package ? Are Create and Define equivalent ? Can thye be made to print tensors with the same format, or appearance? Please give me a few examples. Thanks. Radhakrishna Prof Physics

How do I get anything to work with the differential algebra package with(diffalg)? Maple does not recognize its own commands and then makes things worse by crashing my computer. I've had to pull the plug on my computer at least twice. For instance, whenever I try to type "differential_ring" as soon as I type the underscore, Maple puts me into a subscript mode. Also, there seem to be TWO packages of commands for everything: e.g. with(linalg) and with(LinearAlgebra) with(diffalg) and with(DifferentialAlgebra) which overlap tremendously! Also, sometimes [[a,b],[c,d]] is recognized as a matrix and sometimes it is not. Changing it to

I have get a functionsystem:

I apologize to ask this rather simplistic question, but I am very new to this. I can plot a function such as plot(10*x3, x=1..5); BUT what if the range is only specific points such as x=1, 0,07, 8? What is the syntax for this range?

I'm trying to swap rows of a matrix using the LinearAlgebra package not the linalg one. is there a easy way of doing this?

well, i'm using a Evalution Version Maple .i spend one day time to find how can i change Maple to Document Mode but finally failed. May be Evalution Version doesn't have Work Mode and only have Document Mode? :(

I have a list of lists. The number of lists I have is unknown (though always a positive integer) and the number of elements in each list is unknown (though, again, always a positive integer). Some examples: [[2],[3]]; [[4],[4],[5,1]]; [[3,4,1],[2],[2],[6,7]]; I'd like to form a list of all possible sums formed from one element of each list. The lists of sums from the examples above would be [6]; [13,9]; [13,14,11,14,15,12]; The order doesn't matter, and repeated elements don't matter. I can form these lists when I can control the number of lists in the large list and write an explicit nest of for loops. I figure there's got to be a more elegant and powerful way of producing these sums.

Hi I've got 2 functions of a variable T [x(T) and z(T)] and a varying parameter u and i want to plot x(T) and z(T) against each other and show how the curve changes as u varies (hope that makes sense) how can i do that?

(I think this was posted in the wrong section of mapleprimes.) Hi, I have read the manual on saving to a file many times but it never works for me. I am using Maple 10 on a Mac running MacOS 10.4.10. I have copied the example from the manual and run that and it does work so I am quite confused. Here is what I would like to do: I have a worksheet with lots of definitions,equations, lists, etc. and I would like to have these available on another worksheet. I have tried > save nx; # nx is the name of my worksheet then > read nx; Error, unable to read `nx` I have the same problem with trying to save names e.g.

Hello. I'm having a problem graphing the following parametric equations in 3d , together: x=1-2*t y=-t z=3+t and x= 5+3*s-4*t y=7-5*s-5*t z=-2-s+6*t Thanks, excuse-me my English, I’m foreigner

Hallo, I have a function in form f(x(t)), how can i define it in maple and diff it? thanks a lot ex ante.

Hi, Thanks to a few matrix-transformaties, I have elements like ' 1/2*cos(t)-1/2*3^(1/2)*sin(t) ' which also equals cos(t+1/3*pi) (--> thx to: cos(pi/3) = 1/2 and sin(pi/3) = sqrt(3)/2). But I don't find any way to make maple realize that it can be simplified that way. Can he make such simplifications? thx in advance

How do I use newtons method tutor to find the fixed points of a function?

I am trying to figure out what the heck im doing wrong when embedding the if into the loop:

for a from 1 while a<13 do
if(a=1)
then functions[a]:=m||a;
else functions[a]:=(m||a||rref[1,5]*x^(3))+(m||a||rref[2,5]*x^(2))+(m||a||rref[3,5]*x)+(m||a||rref(4,5)); end if
end do;

I get the Error, unterminated loop

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I'm writing a procedure that will return either true or false as to whether a given coordinate (u,v) lies with the plane polygon, made up of n sets of points (xi,yi). I can write the loop code (I think) to check whether u and v are within the intervals; what i cannot do is define the matrix properly that representsteh points. I think it should look like: A:=linalg[det](linalg[Matrix](3,3,[X,Y,1,x[1],y[1],1,x[2],y[2],1])) Obviously this is for a 3x3; I want to replace the x[1], y[1] with i's; however, no matter which way i do this i get an error message saying that i have invalid parameters for a matrix.
