I'll have to have a look. There is the exact pdsolve in the maple help so it's strange it won't compute. But thank you for your help, it was getting on my nerves trying to figure out the issue. Would you just mind telling me what the result of; 

pde1 := (diff(u(x, t), t)) - diff(u(x, t), t, t) = 0;
 bc[1]:= u(x,N) = F(x,N);
 bc[2]:= u(0,t) = 0;
 bc[3]:= u(1,t)=0;

is in maple 2017? 

@Kitonum 

oh thats annoying ive only got 2016. Is there a way to do it in 2016?

never mind solved it. Thanks for the help

I did try to put Q in as a list, but it kept coming up as an error. Something like it expected it to be a list but found [ [0,1,2,3] , [4,5,6,7] ]. How do you suggest i edit that?

@Kitonum 

Is there a different command I can use that takes in functions?
