I just fixed several of the MaplePrimes badges. Two of the badges, 2-Dimensional and Historian weren't being awarded when they should have been. This has been fixed, and now two people have earned the 2-Dimensional badge, and 91 people, the Historian badge.

I also updated the text for the "Popular Post" and "Popular Question" badges. They both now state that the question needs to be viewed by over 1000 people. The number that is displayed at the bottom of Posts and Questions is the total number of views, so refreshing the page counts as another view. To earn the badge, 1000 unique IP addresses need to view your Post or Question. There are several items that have almost 500 unique visitors thus far, so in a couple of weeks, the first people will start earning these badges.

Scrolling through the search results on tags - like "bug" or "mapleprimes" gives an error "file not found", if trying to go beyond page 1

The old subsciptions are trashed, unfortunately.

But how about new ones? It seems I only can subscribe to my own replies, but not to a thread I want to follow or look at it later (for example when this board allows to save threads locally in a convenient way).

Do I miss the solution or is it true?

Does the Historian badge verification work only for Questions posted since the Mapleprimes system upgrade?

Saving a 3D object computed in Maple.  Maple itself has only limited capabilities for this.

There is a Maple library called JavaViewLib that sends the data from Maple to a Java applet called JavaView.

From there it can be viewed and saved in many different formats.

Find all the info at www.javaview.de

The last web page update was 2006, but the server that provides the free licenses is still running.

Mostly JavaViewLib...

I have noticed that editing in Maple 14 in document mode becomes very sluggish if the Greek palette is left expanded while editing.  I also seem to see a refresh of the palette (maybe a very quick flash) at this time also.

Editing seems to return to normal if the palette is closed.

I am just curious if anyone else has observed this behavour.

Some Posts and Questions contain broken links to files uploaded in the "old Mapleprimes". We've heard that some files (eg. image files) may be irretrievably gone.

But here is a curious page. It had an associated .mw worksheet uploaded. And the link to the uploaded .mw is now broken/stale, at the moment that I write this. But the link to view it with the maplenet viewer, in one's browser, still works. Not only that, but the .mw worksheet can be saved from within that viewer (via a URL distinct from the broken link on the Post).

The MRB constant is the upper limit point of the sequence of partial sums defined by s(n)= .

Each summand is a real number. However, the function f(n)= is a complex-valued function of a real number, n. This blog is a break in progression of the MRB constant series for the purpose of looking at the "complex" nature of this function. The function can be written in exponential form, .

With this first post I would like to demonstrate, in a Maple document, what happens to f [-2,0). When put together (-1,0) these graphs seem to be describing a hyperbolic spiral. I'm not sure if I'll have more to say, or not. As always, others are welcome to join in.

It seems that links to files in the old forum do not work,

for example http://www.mapleprimes.com/files/102_Garch.mws

This is the link as seen in http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/38093-Financial-Numerics-Estimating-Garch11

 

Or otherway asked: where do I find my files (as former user no. 102)?

A recent announcement: ViennaCL, an OpenCL (GPU) based linear algebra library.

It would be interesting to see how it might be used from within Maple via external_calling (even if only for some simple examples).

I can save it as one html, but would miss graphics etc (but do not want to save the full web page).

That's why I usually print as pdf (using pdfcreator) or as postscript (properly installed ps-printer, filing outputs) to a file.

That needs some space on the disk, but so what ...

However for the new board only the first page is 'printed' into that  documents.

Is there a way to get them completely?


One inconvenient work around is: opening the page in Winword ...

Recently (last few months) I created a post. Then during migration images were lost. It was the post about converting 2d to 3d discs. So I updated the post by adding the images. Copied it to a word file and saved it on a USB for personal reference. Now I can't find it on my USB and I'm having trouble locating it here. Now I went searching for it under my name (my contributions) and could not find it anywhere. In fact I've found some posts of mine that should be there...

Are the following paragraphs from the new Mapleprimes Style Guide supposed to contain marked up 2DMath or interpreted Maple result, because right now they don't.

See http://www.mapleprimes.com/help/styleguide

"For example, if you enter <maple>x^2/y^2</maple> you will get this image: x^2/y^2

Any Maple syntax will appear, so you can get complicated and enter this: <maple>sum(cos(x^2)/sin(exp(y)),x=1..infinity)</maple>
which then appears as this image: sum...

Will posted recently rules for Maplesoft employees on this site. I think, it might be a good idea to have some rules for not Maplesoft employees, too. Hopefully, they can be created collaboratively. At this time, I came to the following 5.

1. Search Mapleprimes before asking your question. It may be already answered earlier.
2. Be polite.
3. Vote up the answers to your questions if you learned something from them, even if they didn't solve the problem.
4. If you answer to somebody else's question - vote that question up - if you answering to it, you found it interesting enough to do that.
5. Don't vote anybody's posts down - that feature is reserved for Maplesoft employees (current or former) to show us what they don't like in our posts.

For fun, I have created a sweet and short small animation procedure, which I must say is one of my biggest programs yet (gasp!) as much as I have played with Maple I should have at least created a few more ... In any case, it is a procedure of a random set of numbers chosen and displayed in a histogram on the left with a running total tallied on the right. It is by no means efficient (but feel free to fix up my code and tweak it a little bit, and let me know so I can learn more...
