Is there a reason that an angle theta from zero to pi/2 (0 to 90 deg) returns as invalid for an animation range?  I am trying to rotate a vector 2D for visualization.  This is build-up towards a 3d rotating vector in an animation.  

Here is the code: theta is the arrow tip rotation's location via cos(theta), sin(theta) coordinates in a 2D vector.

animate(arrow, [<cos(theta), sin(theta)>, width = [0.05, relative], view = [-1 .. 2, -1 .. 2], color = "blue"], theta = 0 .. Pi/2)

ErrorMessage:  

Error, (in plots/animate) 0 = 0 .. (1/2)*Pi  is an invalid animation range

Thanks In Advance,

Bill

Hello,

does Maple have a PDE solver? I want to solve the following inhomogeneous case of the heat equation:

diff(u(t,x,y,z),t)=k*Laplacian(u(t,x,y,z))+l*u(t,x,y,z)+m

with boundary conditions u(t,0,y,z)=u(t,L,y,z)=u(t,x,0,z)=u(t,x,L,z)=u(t,x,y,0)=u(t,x,y,L)=0. The initial condition is not fixed, as I want to try different cases. It will probably be some sinusoidal spatial function. I would prefer an analytic solution but I could live with a numerical one. If not in three spatial dimensions then even a solution with one dimension would be useful. I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.

How can this expression sorted in order of the symbol "y"? I want the terms with y locate at the beginnig.

As the title, who can help me fix the problem like this

theta:= diff(arctan(y,x)):

W:= piecewise(

         theta>-Pi/2 and theta< -Pi/2+10, 1+A+B*cos(theta),

         theta>-Pi/2+10 and theta< Pi/2-10. 1-A+B*cos(thea)); 

there always plotout the undefined when acrtan(y,x)=Pi/2,

How can I ignore this undefined or define another value for W when acrtan(y,x)=Pi/2

    Dear Fellows
Hoped everything is fine with you. I plotted some contours for a flow model and i want to generate its dat file. Please help me in this regard. Thanks

Attached is a worksheet containing a simple assignment that gives an "illegal use of an object as a name" error. I created the superscripted name in the following way.

1)  type b.

2) click on the Insert|Typesetting|Superscript  item in the insert menu.

3) enter 1 at the cursor in the superscript position.

4)  the result is a name b with superscript 1, but this symbol does not constitute a valid name for an assignment.

How Would I fix that?

Hi 

I forgot how to display the output ar an array i.e. (r,u(r)) (table of data)

I am sure i will find answers here.

a:=-0.1:alpha:=0.2:

dsys:={diff(u(r),r,r)+((1-alpha)/r+r^(alpha-2))*diff(u(r),r)=a};

res1:=dsolve(dsys union {u(0.05)=0,u(1)=0},numeric);

How we can see steps of Laplace transform calculation?

In a thesis by Md. Mohsin Ali at the University of Ontario, he says that ifactor uses multiple threads and presents a graph of measured results.

I ran ifactor with a 100 digit input and do not see mserver using multiple cores in top.  I do see mserver using 100% of a single core.

Am I missing something?

It would be nice to save various animated Maple images from into GIF images, but without the coordinates and the axes. THe same question in anoehr way: Can we plot the original function without any axes or coordinates?

Thank you!

Process Maple segmentation fault (core dumped)

No matter what I do from the keyboard, a core dump is not a reasonable response.

This worksheet animates stereographic projection of a grid on a sphere onto the plane the sphere sits on.

Is there a way to display matching colors in corresponding cells in the two grids?

My question is whether any special interest groups exist in the Maple Cloud?  If so, is there a public listing of these groups?
