When I apply the uses function with the Physics package in a procedure, the commands in this package are not restricted to the inside of the procedure, but are applied globally. See the example below:

gds := proc(LL, qi, t)

 local ta,i;  

uses Physics;

ta := sec(diff(diff(LL, diff(qi[i](t), t)), t), i = 1 .. nops(qi));

RETURN(ta) end:

sxy := diff(x(t), t)^2 + diff(y(t), t)^2:

gds(sxy, [x, y], t);

Error, (in Physics:-diff) name expected for external function
 

On the other hand, when I apply the uses function with the LinearAlgebra package in a procedure, the commands in this package are restricted to the inside of the procedure only.
dst:=proc(MM) 

local DA; 

uses LinearAlgebra;

DA:=Determinant(MM); 

RETURN(DA) end:

dst(<<1 | 2>, <3 | 4>>);

                  -2

Determinant(<<1 | 2>, <3 | 4>>);

                         Determinant(Matrix(2, 2, [[1, 2], [3, 4]]))

This could be a bug in Maple 2019?

The following differential equation:

sy := (dsolve({T*diff(y(x), x, x) + rho*omega^2*y(x) = 0, y(0) = 0, y(L) = 0}, y(x)) assuming (0 < T, 0 < omega, 0 < rho))

                                                                 sy:=y(x)=0

Maple only returns the trivial solution. Should return other expressions:
Thank you

For the DE solution below, Maple returns only one option. I can't get the others. Can anyone help?

wW := unapply(piecewise(0 <= x and x < L/2, 0, L/2 <= x and x <= L, w[0]), x):

eq := k*diff(y(x), x$4) = wW(x):

dsolve({eq, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 0, y''(L) = 0, y'''(L)=0}, y(x)) assuming 0 < L

          y(x) = -L*w[0]*x^3/(6*k) + L^2*w[0]*x^2/(4*k) + w[0]*x^4/(24*k)

Obrigado.

Maple always starts a new document with a 2D input style and Times New Roman font. How to change the boot style? (default).

pde := (diff(u(r, theta), r) + r * diff(u(r, theta), r, r) + diff(u(r, theta), theta, theta) / r ) / r:
iv := u( 1, theta) = 0, u( 3, theta) = theta, u( r, 0) = 10, u( r, Pi/2) = 0:
           Maple 2019 returns a symbolic solution for PDE:
pdsolve([pde, iv], u(r, theta));
   But for the numeric option, it returns a message saying that Maple is unable to handle elliptical PDEs.
pdsolve(pde, {iv}, numeric, time = t, range = 1 .. 3);

Error, (in pdsolve/numeric) unable to handle elliptic PDEs
I found it strange.
