I am writing to discuss an issue which arises due to a Java bug combined with updated X11 libraries. I have been trying to get Maple 11 to run in a new version of Fedora Linux (F8). After a lot of searching I have found a solution. Note that unless the Maple developers issue a new corrected CD image changed to work with the new libX11 library then this fix will be required on all linux machines with updated libX11. In my case this came to light after upgrading my computer from Fedora 7 where the application was installed (and kept in an untouched partition during the install of F8)

I am trying to figure out what the heck im doing wrong when embedding the if into the loop:

for a from 1 while a<13 do
if(a=1)
then functions[a]:=m||a;
else functions[a]:=(m||a||rref[1,5]*x^(3))+(m||a||rref[2,5]*x^(2))+(m||a||rref[3,5]*x)+(m||a||rref(4,5)); end if
end do;

I get the Error, unterminated loop

Thanks in advance!

My previous blog entry was a real success. Even though my original idea about multi-part MIME has not gotten anywhere, I do now have a concise way to package a maplet with supplemental files in a single package that can be downloaded via the WWW and automatically extracted and executed. Most of the ideas were presented by acer. acer first suggested that I look at the interactive interface to the InstallerBuilder. The idea here was to embed the maplet in a worksheet saved in a help database (hdb). This did work, but was not suitable for actual use due to the overhead of the installer. In the attempt to reduce this overhead, acer then supplied some code that used march and LibraryTools. To test the product of this interaction, download the file at the URL http://www.math.sc.edu/~meade/TEST/SimpleTest.mla.

Note added: As correctly pointed out by Joe Riel in his post below, my function fromTree fails doing what it is supposed to do for expressions which contain lists and/or sets. For a version of fromTree which behaves properly (I believe) also for expressions containing lists and/or sets, see my post below. Consider the following two functions:

toTree   := x -> `if`(op(x) = x,x,[op(0,x),map(toTree,[op(x)])[]]):

Here it is. If you are running windows vista on your machine and installed maple 11, you will shortly notice that you cannot save documents which is a little annoying. After a lot of reading and understanding how maple works as a sofware, I figured out that maple installs its own version of Java Runtime Envenrinement commonly known as JRE. The hick is it is not compatible with windows vista. Here is the solution I propose for you: 1. Go on Java sun`s website and download the latest JRE version. You will need to install it... https://sdlc5e.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=A61F1EC27C11159DC1B22D3FBC2E7AB0 this is the website of the latest version I know of.

Hello! So glad to become a part of this community, I am loving Maple. So here is my question: I know c++ fairly well (need to freshen up) and the same idea with Java, Ive seen I can incorporate languages into Maple, or so it seems. What type of things am I capable of doing? And along those lines, any suggestions to what path to take in order to learn such powerful tools? I am currently working on a bachelor/masters in engineering and would love to know Maple better then I do my own Fiance (just dont tell her). Thanks in advance!

How do i find the coeff? It is not working! > restart: > alias(epsilon=ep); epsilon > eqn := ep*x^4 - 3*x^2 -2*x + 1; 4 2 eqn := epsilon x - 3 x - 2 x + 1 > eqn1 := simplify(subs(x=ep^(n)*y,eqn)/epsilon^(1+4*n)); 4 (-1 - 2 n) 2 (-1 - 3 n) (-1 - 4 n) eqn1 := y - 3 epsilon y - 2 epsilon y + epsilon > asym1 := sum(y[n]*ep^(n), n=0..3); 2 3

Hello everybody, does anyone know how to integrate the output of BsplineCurve in maple 8? I can plot it over a given interval, but if I try to perform the corresponding definite integral, I get the following error message: Error, (in int) wrong number (or type) of arguments as opposed to the output of the Spline routine, which can be integrated without problems. Thank you for your help.

Suppose the adjacency matrix M is given. How we can get the graph of it from Maple? Can we draw the graph now? Thanx.

is there any way to do quantum field theory on maple 11 even if it means to have an add on package? answer will be helpful

In a previous blog entry I described a novel method, proposed by Robert Israel, for sorting a list of lists of small positive integers, specifically those less than 256. It is significantly faster than the usual method. Roman Pearce responded with a method for rapidly sorting listlists of integers (a listlist is a list of sublists with identical number of elements), regardless of size. While not as fast as Robert's technique, it, too, is significantly faster than the usual method and has no restriction on integer size.

Hi, I was wondering, how the Boolean matrices can be operated (multiplied, added etc) in Maple? Can we find their eigenvalues etc? Your reply would do great help to me. Many Thanks. Athar Kharal

Hi All. To find all solutions to a trig eqn in Maple 11 you do the following (See attached file). My question is what commands do I use in Maple 10 to replicate the Maple 11 results. M11 is too slow on my machine. (in M10 all i get is error message "solutions lost"). rgds View 2735_Solutions with restrictions.mw on MapleNet or Download 2735_Solutions with restrictions.mw

I need to sketch a graph of a sail and indicate the location of the center of pressure. I'm semi new to maple, so if you could explain step by step, that would help me. Points (0,0),(2,1),(0,5) The lines would be y=-2x+5, y=0, & y=x/2 How do I get all three of them into one graph and only from ththe points? Also, how do I indicate the center of pressure which is (31/12,7/12) ? Thanks, Jerry

Hi All In M11 you do the following; _EnvAllSolutions := true: _EnvExplicit := true: solve([sin(x)*cos(x)=0,x>0,x
