I am a newbie to Maple, i have learnt Maple for several days.In Matlab i can easily declare a row vector t=0:0.02:0.5 (from 0 by 0.02 to 0.5) but in Maple i can't. I tried using "for" loop but i could not insert into a vector. How can I write a vector like that ? Please show me.Thanks a lot.

>e1r := -1.5; > e1i := 12.455; > e2r := -.022269812; > e2i := .25368881; > E1 := e1r -I*e1i; E1 := -1.5 - 12.455 I > E2 := e2r -I*e2i; E2 := -0.022269812 - 0.25368881 I > nz1 := RootOf(E1*NZ^4 - NZ^2*(2*E1^2) + E1^3 - E1*E2^2=0,NZ,index=1); Error, (in content/polynom) general case of floats not handled ok so what is wrong with this? its all simple equations and complex floats, the syntax for rootof looks correct...

I wanted to solve a differential equation and followed the examples in Maple manual exactly: ode := {(2*t*x*q+x-4*t*x^2*(2*y(v)-1))*(diff(y(v), v))-1 = 0}; ic := {y(0) = 1/2}; soln := dsolve(`union`(ode, ic), {y(v)}); But I got neither results nor error informations. Does it mean, "ode" has no solution? In such case, how can I get some tips from Maple? thanks a lot.

I have a problem with a sentence that I have. I don't know whether it is a formatting problem or problem with the statement itself. I'm trying to say something like this (if it makes it less abstract, I'm trying to formally define a Sudoku puzzle). For any set S and function F that maps the ordinal set |S|^2 to |S|, there exists a set T which is a subset of S^|S||S||S| such that any element of T Tabc is equal to the empty set iff c !=F(a,b) First of all, theres a couple issues with this. |S| is the cardinal of S, but for convenience I also use it as an ordinal set. Second, as I started typing this I saw that I do not have the necessary statement for all Tabc which are members of T. How can I correctly input this statement into Maple?

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good (free) text editor for writing Maple source code. I am writing some programs and thus far I have just been using Notepad, but automatic syntax highlighting and indentation would be nice to have. Thanks!

I am trying to use maple to find the limit of a subsequence, but what I've tried hasn't worked

For example define . Then using maple

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to solve an IMPLICIT first order ODE? That is, an eqn. of the form F(x,y,y')= 0 where we cannot seperate the term y'. An example will be helpful.
Thanks.
D.O.

I have the following code snippet which uses solve to get the 4 solutions to a quartic equation. In my application I must know which solution is which, for they each have a specific placement in later calculations. I know that most of Maple's datasets use memory address as their method of sorting, and therefore each run can give a different order to the results. Is this also true for solve? I need to know a way which the order of the solutions will always be constant. (sorting by returned value will not suffice) WaveEQDet := proc(layer,eV) local E1, E2; > E1:=Epp1(layerelementtable[layer], eV);

The plot function will not work with the following code:

> vatt:= (r,b,rc) -> -epsilon*(cos(Pi*(r-rc)/(2*wc)))^2;

> VattR := proc(r,b)
> rc:= evalf(b*2^(1/6));if r < rc then RETURN(-epsilon) elif rc <= r and r <= (rc+wc) then RETURN(vatt(r,b,rc)) else RETURN(0) end if;
> end proc;

> plot(VattR(r,1),r=1.1..1.2);
Error, (in VattR) cannot determine if this expression is true or false: r < 1.122462048
> VattR(1.1,1);
-1.0

The functions work fine on their own....

I would like to set my sessions to show the 1D Maple sheets - however when trying the options in the menu - it still wont happen. What am I doing wrong? Help - the 2D version drives me nuts!

Please recommend a good introductory book for Maple. My math skills are very high & I have much programming experience, so a Maple for Dummies approach would be too simplistic.

I have been messing with the various functions in the VectorCalculus package and have been getting some unexpected behavior w.r.t. some of the functions. My current issue is with the SurfaceInt function. Consider a sphere whose surface density increases linearly from one point on the sphere to the opposite pole. What is its overall mass. I set up the package... > restart; > with(VectorCalculus); > SetCoordinates(spherical[r, phi, theta]); and a density function... rho := proc (r, phi, theta) options operator, arrow; phi end proc; and perform the integration...

I'm trying to integrate various expressions like f''(x)*g(x)+f'(x)*g'(x). In this case, the answer is obvious by inspection, f'(x)*g(x), but I can't coerce Maple to produce the result. Any ideas?

I am looking into using Maple in an undergraduate Vibrations class and put together the attached worksheet as a sort of combination rough draft and feasibility study. The equation showing up after the algsubs command really bothers me; is there a way to remove the imaginary exponential terms and substitute trigonometric identities?

From "t*x^3-q*x-2q^2=0" I got a complicated real solution. Then I want to evaluate "y= -x/2 -(x+2q)^2/(8t*x^2)" with the solution. But my Maple exited without results. I have tried many times. It was alway so. How can I evaluate it? Do I need some package? Or my memory (526M) is too small? Thanks
