how to result in [a,b] when input is [a,-b]

 from determinant's polynomial?                                                                                                       

question1 := b(t)*(diff(c(t), t))*(diff(a(t), t))+a(t)*(diff(b(t), t))

how to subs(b(t)=0, question1) result in a(t)*(diff(b(t), t)) ?

in fact b(t) = 0 but diff(b(t), t) != 0 

Dear All

I have updated my Maple 18, I am surprised to see that ordinary "solve" do not work and return error massage like;

"Error, (in coulditbe) invalid input: `coulditbe/internal` uses a 1st argument, obj, which is missing"

or like;

"Error, (in solve) invalid input: hastype expects 2 arguments, but received 1"

I am totally confused !!!

Can anybody help me out please !!!!

Hello,

I would like to determine the position jacobian matrix from a set of constraint equations.

Here my constraint equations :

eq1:=l1*cos(theta(t))+l2*sin(beta(t))-x(t)=0
eq2:=l1*sin(theta(t))-l2*cos(beta(t))=0

The jacobian matrix that I would like to determine is :

Can you help me to make a general procedure to calculate a jacobian position matrix from a set of constraint equations ?

Thank you for your help

What is the easiest way to ask roots of a polynomial on a finite field. For example asking roots of x^2+xy+y on GF(8)? I was thinking to run a two for on members of GF(8) and ask to check it but I couldn't do it using Galois package or maybe I couldn't use that package. Thanks for any help.

I am wondering why Maple does this.

> f:=x^2
> f(3)
output: x(3)^2

I understand the difference between an expression and a function. If f is an expression, shouldn't it ouput  x^2(3). Why is the output x(3)^2?

When I enter f*3 or f*(3) then I get the correct expression.

Here is a screenshot. http://prntscr.com/a7u9hm

Here is image inserted with a slightly different function

Also while I am here, what exactly does g(x):= x^2 do? when i enter g(3) I get g(3) back.

g(x) is neither a function nor an expression.

Dear All

I have third party Maple package saved along path E:/Maple work/General Maple Workout/TWS.mpl, but after using march command for other package, Maple is reporting error like "unable to read; E:/Maple work/General Maple Workout/TWS.mpl". What could be possible reason for this?

Moreover when I type "currentdir()" it shows me "C:\WINDOWS\system32" which is right path from where Maple is working

Hello,

I  put a caption under a plot and I want to use subscript. Since this is not the math mode, [] or __ does not work. Anyone knows, how to use subcript under the plot caption?

Thanks,

Hi all, 

I was wondering if it is possible to add a colour gradient to a point plot to represent another perameter in the data.

For example, each point corresponds to a value of 'f' ranging from 0.1 to 1, and I was wondering how to display this by means of a colour gradient.

Thanks,

 I am haunted by an equation which I could simplify it with hand and it equals to −i (complexe number). But, I don't know how to use maplesoft to simplify it. The equation takes the form of:

-Omega*a*sqrt(2)*sqrt(-Omega^2*a^2-2*k*m+sqrt(Omega^2*a^2*(Omega^2*a^2+4*k*m)))/(-Omega^2*a^2+sqrt(Omega^2*a^2*(Omega^2*a^2+4*k*m)))



I could simplify this equation with hand calculation and it equals to -i (the complexe number). I'am sorry for not clarifying that the a, k, Ω and m are positive variables.

Thank you in advance for taking a look.

This might be a mis-understanding on my part, so I figured I would ask a question first.  Narrowing down my code to something minimalistic, suppose I have 2 functions, each of which take a 'context' (abbreviated ctx) as a keyword parameter.  Now, suppose that the first one calls the second, like so:

foo := proc({ctx :: list := []}) bar(ctx = ctx) end proc:
bar := proc({ctx :: list := []}) nops(ctx) end proc:

and then a call "foo(ctx = [a,b,c])" returns the (completely unexpected) value 0.  See if you can puzzle out why.  If I change my code to use different names, like

foo1 := proc({ctx :: list := []}) bar1(_ctx = ctx) end proc:
bar1 := proc({_ctx :: list := []}) nops(_ctx) end proc:

Then the call "foo1(ctx = [a,b,c])" returns the expected 3.

I have tried a number of variants, like changing the call to bar('ctx' = ctx) in foo, but that does not work.  The completely un-intuitive :-ctx does work.

Is this documented anywhere?  Is this really the intended design?  Not being to re-use a name for a keyword parameter without going through some contortions seems, a little, shall I say, odd?

Just starting some work on numerical engineering solutions by going through a workbook, which includes a Maple Document on CD (with one index.mw and several .mws files).

As I don't have acces to a Maple system, I downloaded Maple Player. However - Maple Player will only accept .mw and .mwz files(at least that shows up on 'FILE>OPEN'); so trying to open an .mws file results in - NOTHING. In your forum I found some information that .mwz is a nonpublic Maple format !?...... Now I don't see a way to work with PLAYER. Isn't PLAYER meant for exactly that scenario - sharing MAPLE worksheets ?

So - what to do ?

Thanks for some hint,

How do I write a procedure to find a root of f(x)=0 in the vicinity of a given value x0. The procedure should initially use the rearrangement method to produce a linearly convergent sequence of values, and should, when appropriate, switch to Aitkin's Method. The input for the procedure should be the re-arranged function and the velue for x0. The output should be the root and the number of iteration taken. The procedure should check that re-arrangement will converge. This program should do in Maple V Release5.

Thank you for your help.

Hey,

I wonder if there is an operator to skip inputs and outputs of functions. Consider this example:

The output would be:

However my system is much bigger and I only need the second output of the command and I dont want to waste memory on the first.

In Matlab I would write

~,ans := GenerateMatrix(...)Is there a similar shortcut availible in Maple?

Thanks in advance!
