I have been using random numbers in other applications than Maple. Usually there is a function, which will give a pseudo random real number between 0 and 1. When I looked for it in Maple I got quite confused, because there are a lot of different options here - obviously because Maple can deliver random numbers/objects in many ways, even following a certain distrubution. I found out it doesn't work by just using rand(), since it is always starting with the same value. Then I found the command randomize(...

Dear Maple Users

I am pretty new to programming in Maple, so maybe this is not a very difficult question to answer. I want to write some code, which generates a table to be displayed. In every cell I want some content, which is generated by some code as well. How can it be done, and if there are several ways, which one is the best?

I am working on importing data from an Excel-file "Data.xlsx" into Maple. This is done using the following commands:

> restart;
> with(ExcelTools);
> X := Import("Data.xlsx", 1, "A3:A63");

One strange behavior is the fact that I receive an error message: Error, (in ExcelTools:-Import) Could not open the file.

When I close the Maple file and open it again and reexecute, the error disappers and everything works....

Dear Maple Users

In Maple 16 I read in the menu Help > What's New that it is now possible to have 3D plots exported as vector graphics, when using EPS export. I tried it, but could not open the resulting EPS file. I used my CorelDRAW 15 Suite ... Can someone tell me how I get access to the exported vector graphics?

If I cannot get it into CorelDRAW, it is not for much use. Maybe an intermediate process?

Dear Maple users

I am having a problem with a simple for loop. I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong. I want to define a number of Random Variables of the ChiSquare kind, with increasing number of degrees of freedom as the figure below suggest. When defining them one line after another everything works well. My idea was then to make a for loop, since I might want many Random Variables defined. It doesn't work however in the way I do it. All...
