I know this is a mathematics forum, but I think that there are many faculty members and others here directly or indirectly affiliated with physics.

Again from Goldstein's, "Classical Mechanics" Chapter 8, The Hamilton Equations Of Motion.

The question is:

Write the problem of central force motion of two mass points in Hamiltonian formulation, eliminating the cyclic variables, and reducing the problem to quadratures.

Show that if lambda[i] are the eigenvalues of a square matrix, then if the reciprocal matrix exists it has the eigenvalues (lambda[i])^(-1).

By "reciprocal matrix" I assume he means inverse.

I found a used copy of Probability and Statistics Explorations with Maple by Karian and Tanis. I'd like to work through it, but the supplements come in Maple 6,7 and 8 versions and I use Maple 11. Can I load the supplement?

The version 8 one comes as a "package", stat.all, but I don't know what to do with it. The version 6 one comes as two files, a help file, *.hdb, which seems to load, and a stat.src file. I put the  src file in a directory which I added to libname, but I can't use "with" to call it.

Thanks in advance

Hi guys

Is it relatively simple to create a maplet which allows a user to fill in the entries of a matrix, and then to take the elements of that matrix and put it through a procedure. So to clariffy say i make a window appear with 4 empty boxes, this would correspond to the entries of a matrix.

I need to do the integral of a certain function by using

a) Rectangles method

- Would it be sum(f,x=a..b,n) ?

b)Trapezoid method ( I can not use trapezoid() )

c)Simpson's method ( I can not use simpson() )

I know how to do them without Maple, but with Maple I have no idea.

Hi everyone,

i plotted a graph last time, and Maple showed a very clear graph. But when i Opened my file on the next day agian and re-enter t to my input. Maple gave me a string of number instead of graph. Even to teacher's guide as well, sometime Maple gives nicely graph, but mostly a string of number. Can anyone give me solution ? Thx a lot

My graph:

Dear all,

Thank you for your great support !

I am trying to solve this ode numerically in Maple 11.

c:=3;

ode1 := (diff(y(x), x))^2+4*c*(diff(y(x), x))+4*c^2*y(x)/(1-x^2);

dsn3 := dsolve({ics, ode1}, numeric);

But I get the following error:

Error, (in DEtools/convertsys) unable to convert to an explicit first-order system

What does this error mean?  The function y(x) is valid on {0,1}

Thanks.

HI to everybody, I have to manipulate a system of partial differential equation,one by one.how can I do? I have in particolat to derive a lot of time my differential equations(shallow water equations),and then to group, to substitute and at the and I need time derivative in function of spatial derivative. How is the best choice for working? I think to define for example:

pde := diff(q(x, y, t), t) +(g*D-u^2)*(diff(h(x, y, t), x))-2*u*(diff(q(x, y, t), x))=0

Hello,

How can I get the powers of "y" for all terms in eq1:

eq1:=A*(k+1)*y^n+(k+2)*y^(n+1)+12*y^n+k*y^6 +... other terms

where A,k, = consts, n::posint

,for example, as a list  [n,n+1,n,6,....]

Thanks in advance - jerzy 

hi everone,

i m new user . My dad just got for me MAPLE 11 last week. So interested! But when i do sloving equtaion 2*cos(x) - exp(x)= 0 interval -3..3. Maple only give me 1 solution instead of 2 solutions . I wonder if i my imput date is wrong. Can anyone help me, thx!

probably I should not have written my question as a comment here
http://www.mapleprimes.com/forum/how-to-evaluate-faster, si I now put it as a new topic. Thanks for your time and help.

The problem is to evaluate as effectively as possible an n-fold sum of N additions, e.g., for n=3

FF := proc (N) options operator, arrow; evalhf(add(add(add((1/2*1/3*1/4)*(1/2)^j*(3/4)^g*(2/3)^i/(.4*i+.4+.1*j+.1+.3*g+.3), i = 0 .. N), j = 0 .. N), g = 0 .. N)) end proc

In one of the good books on Maple, an advice was to use external text editor of your choice if yoru code is likely to be more than 10 lines. I know there are WinEdt for laTex, RWinEdt , TinnR or Emacs for R, but what  is best for Maple? What will highlight Maple syntacis, commands, etc? What's available and what's good?  Thanks.

In menu Options/Interface I chose to open worksheets as a new tab. That's convenient. However, I cannot figure out how to make Maple 11 start up with the same set of tabs/worksheets automatically loaded when I turn on my PC to use Maple next time. Thanks.

hi i need to plot xlogx^k for x small and positive and k=1,2,3... could anyone help me pls
