Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to use units in Maple so I can always check if the result I have at the end of calculation is the meter.  For example:

The answer is of course 3.10^8 m^3*kg/s^3

I try to do something with the units but I am unable to crreate something that will simplify the m/s ffactor to 1.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Helle everybohy,

I need to setup a metric tensor in 3-d but with the varalble r, and .  So I try this:

>with(Physics); Setup(mathematicalnotation = true, dimension = 3)

>Setup(coordinates = spherical[r, theta, varphi], metric = M)

where M is the metric that I need to use.  But the last command does not work.  Il I don't write [r, theta, varphi], it work but it's r, theta and t.

Any hint on this please?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everybody,

In the linearised theory of gravity, I want to do some symbolic calculations.  First, I need to set that:

Then I want to see how the Christoffel symbols will change by putting the above in this:

Any hint someone?  I really appreciate the help for learning the Physics package.  Thank you in advance.

I have to prove the following:

So I do not need the explicit derivative of the function (r,t) . The metric is:

ds^2=(1-rg/r)*dt^2-(1-rg/r)^(-1)*dr^2

I am in the case of a collapsing star that emit radiation during the collapsing.  And I do not need to have a rotating black hole so that the reason I dont have dt*dr term in the metric, and I fix and .  So if you look in the Maple file attach to this post, I don't manage to obtain what I need to prove the equality between the two aspect of the same calculation.

Plese, take into account that I am sort of novice with the Physcis package and that the question is not part of an exam.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,

I have a set of data that I have imported in Maple.  When I plot the data, I can see that there are two sine waves in it.  It is a plot of radial velocity of a star versus time.  This is about a reflex motion of a star with an orbiting planet.  We will set that there is only one planet.

I would like to extract those two sine waves.  I am including that *.csv file that I imported in Maple that you can download at this address.

This is not for an exam but it is for a course in February and this will be very helpful and I want to share this file.  I can predict that there will be more than one planet but it is the idea that is important.

Thank you in advance for your help.
