I have a degree in Mathematics and Physics from the Danish University Aarhus, comparable to a masters degree with thesis - majoring in Mathematics. In 1991-92 I was a visting scholar at UCLA, Los Angeles, following graduate courses in Applied Mathematics. Since 1992 I have been a teacher in a high school (gymnasium) in Denmark. Special interests: Applied mathematics, graphics and popularizing Mathematics.

Dear Maple users

I think I got the answer once, but I don't remember: How do I plot a function, whoose values include units? In the plot below it succeeds partly. The plot is being displayed, but units not simplified. In other situations I simply get an error, although it should work. I guess it has to do with simplifying units ... I hope someone can point out how to do it ...

Dear Maple users

We are using Maple at our school. Usually activation with the Activation code works well if the computer has a good connection to the Internet. Our data instructor have however experienced a problem with two computers he cannot seem to solve. He is not able to activate Maple 16 on those computers. After a failure in activation he even reset the license.dat file. Maybe someone have an idea to how we can get those computers activated and what the problem...

Dear Maple users

I know how to plot surfaces in 3D. However now I have a special task: I want to plot a piece of a solid region in 3D, more precisely a transverse or logitudinal wave. I wonder if there is an easy way to do this in Maple? Any hint will be appreciated!

Dear Maple users

This may be an easy task, but I cannot seem to find out how to do it: How do I get the solutions of an equation on a list form? Let's say the output of the solve command has the reference number (1), then I tried using the convert command and a label to refer to the Maple output, but it didn't work:

convert((1),list)

I hope someone can help me do it.

Dear Maple users

I like to use animations in Maple for different educational purposes. The other day I tried making an animation simulating a simplified Epicycle, which is a small circle with its centre running on a larger circle. The smaller one has a ball running on it with a constant velocity. I used the following code:

> with(plots);
> with(plottools);
> omega := 1; k := 5; R := 5; r := 2;
>
> plot1 := plot([R*cos(omega*t), R*sin(omega*t), t = 0 .. 2*Pi]);
