Does Maple have any functions that would help to work out nth Term series problems where I'm giving a series of fractions and I need to determine what the nth Term is before I can start working the problems? Thanks,

I hate to keep comparing but its all I know so have to compare to something. In Mathcad I can drop a table on a worksheet and fill it with values. Then use those values in an equation or plot. I can also take a series and fill a table based on operations of that series. ie: 1..5 and have it fill a visual table that I can review the values in. In Maple, when I've messed around with the table() function it ends up putting code on my worksheet and I have to double click it to see what is in it. Is there some easier method to work with tables of values that works more like Mathcad? Thanks,

I can plot things like this very easily in Mathcad but continue to run into problems with Maple. Mostly just habits I need to change but can't quite figure this one out. Hoping one of you guys can help me along. I have a problem with the following command: plot( (-1)^n + n^3 / n^3 +4n^2 + 8, n=1..infinity ); I've tried a smaller range on n but all I seem to get is a blank grid. Thanks, glenn

I really seem to be having a lot of trouble with Maple that I don't have with Mathcad and I'm hoping you guys can show me what I"m doing wrong. the issue is that I'm trying to graph more than one curve on a grap which is very easy to do in Mathcad but not obviously so with Maple. My teacher told me to setup variables for each function and then use the display property to show the graphs and this works most of the time but then sometimes it does nothing at all but print the functions verbally. here is an example: restart; with(plots): g1 := implicitplot( 4-(x-2)^2): g2 := implicitplot( x/2 ):

Here is a derivative that I'm trying to take that I get a different answer from Mathcad. This would normally be ok I guess except when trying to figure arclength in Maple I don't get an answer and in Mathcad it works fine. diff((3+4*y^4)/12*y,y); The original equation is: 12xy - 4y^4 = 3 Thanks, glenn
