Maple User Interface Survey

We are conducting a survey about Maple's user interface, and we want to hear from you.  There are 25 questions and it should take no more then 10-15 minutes to complete.  As a thank you for taking the survey, 5 lucky participants will be chosen at random and will receive a Maplesoft shirt (to be eligible for the shirt, you must fill in the optional contact information).

You can find the survey here.

Thanks in advance!

Anti-pattern of the Week

I recently ran into an interesting twist on the infamous Maple anti-pattern:

# A very garbagey way to build a list
l := [];
for i from 1 to 10000 by 100 do
    l := [op(l), isqrt(abs(floor((5000-i)/2)))];
end do;

A lot of users fall prey to this method of building a list rather than using seq:

# generate a list without extraneous garbage
l := [seq(isqrt(abs(floor((5000-i)/2))),i=1..10000,100)];

Maple 13 and MaplePrimes Bug Reports

While marketing material naturally talks about new features in a release, we of course also put considerable effort into investigating and correcting problems with the product. Many of these fixes are in direct response to problems reported on MaplePrimes.  Thank-you. We recognize that reporting these issues takes time, and we really appreciate your help in making our products better.
