I installed maple 10 on a 64bit linux machine (gentoo & ubuntu). The installation went fine with the graphical (java based) installer. Afterwardss it was possible to start maple on the console. But when I try to start xmaple or maple -x nothing happens, no error, just nothing.

Hoping it was a well know bug (?) I updated (with the 64bit update) maple 10 to maple 10.03. But still the same problem.

Due to the fact xmaple is a java based program, could it depend on the 64bit java shipped with the software?

I found in the forum two postings with exactly the same problem, without a satifying solution:

Hi, I imported some data from a csv file, and it's a big 2x1000 matrix, and it's assigned to a variable A, if I input A[1,1], it can't show the correct content in the matrix. On the contrary, if I input a matrix by hand, say a 3x3 matrix,and assign it to B, then I input B[2,1], I can get the correct number in the matrix B. Can anyone show me what's wrong? Also, how can take out one column or one row in a matrix and do calculations in the future? (say assign them to seperate variables and calculate and plot....) Thanks, Vic

One for the Maple bugkeepers. There seems to be a problem with DEtools[initialdata] -- in some circumstances the output initial data is wrong -- missing "D" operators. For instance, suppose one has a PDE system with dependent variables u(x), v(x,y). Then initialdata works. But if the PDE has dependent variabls u(x), v(y,x) then initialdata returns incorrect results.

To any maplet expert: The following maple code works and want to upgrade it using Maplet[Element](action(function=)) p1:=plot([[0,0],[15,0],[24.50,9.69],[0,0]],filled=true); t1:=textplot([0,0,"Angle A"],align=BELOW); t2:=textplot([15,0,"Angle C"],align=BELOW); t3:=textplot([24.50,9.69,"Angle B"],align=ABOVE); display({p1,t1,t2,t3}); However, I am having difficulty translating the above maple code into maplet using maplet[element](function=__). Or is this even possible? Thank you for what ever assistance you may provide. pv

I used to be able to do this copy/paste ... Here, I got an integral, then copied the output and pasted onto the next line. I wanted Maple input format, of course. Is it a change for Maple 10.03? for Mac? Or what? Have I got some setting wrong?

Dear colleagues: I am interested on taking some data from serial Port (Com 1) to process them with Maple. Can you give me some suggestion, library or anything that could help me? Greetings Somos4maple

FYI, Maplesoft has launched a podcast series called MapleCast starring yours truly. The first episode has an interview with Keith Geddes (Maple co-inventor) among other things. There will be a new episode every two weeks. Tell me what you think. T4.

I've been using Maple 9.5 on my mac for a while with no problems. Then last week my delete key stopped working. I can still highlight and delete but I can't delete straight text. Does anyone know what's going on with my Maple? Thanks!

It would be really nice if some basic "less" (as in the program, as in an improved "more") functionality was added into the maple online help (as viewed from the terminal). I find myself having to constantly re-open documents just to get back to the top. These would be very helpful: 1. Returning the terminal to previous state when help is closed. I'm not sure this is clear, but try opening less on a document, when it closes you're left right back at the prompt where you can see where you left things off. Compare this to the current scheme where you can only

It would be nice if maple (as run from a terminal) would add a couple of the Emacs keybindings. Support for Ctrl-[whatever] keys seems pretty good but there is no support for Meta keybindings. I tend to use these pretty regularly (quoted from bash man page): forward-word (M-f) Move forward to the end of the next word. Words are composed of alphanumeric characters (letters and digits). backward-word (M-b) Move back to the start of the current or previous word. Words are composed of alphanumeric characters (letters and digits).

If I attempt to evaluate the integral int(exp(I*z*cos(x)),x=0..Pi), I should get a Bessel Function, in fact J_0(x). But Maple does not do this, the way I use it. How does make maple10 recognize such integrlas?

To my fellow maple user: I wanted to label critical point/s in plotted curve. For example: plot y=x^2 + 5. P(0,5)is the vertex. I like to label this point as "Vertex" on the plot itself. Thanks in advance for any assistance. pv

In their own words ... "PlanetMath was conceived by Nathan Egge ("unlord" on PlanetMath) and Aaron Krowne ("akrowne" on PlanetMath-- yours truly) as a project to fill the void for a central repository for mathematical knowledge on the web, with a pedagogical slant. But we realized that we could do it in a way that would make it a community, built by the users, and that the users would be just as valuable as the content itself. There are now many grassroots-content sites like this (Wikipedia, Citeulike, Slashdot, Fark...), and PlanetMath represents a unique kind of hybrid of MathWorld, Wikipedia, and Slashdot concepts. We think that the end result has proven very useful to many people who are interested in learning math, who are already students studying math, or who make their living in mathematical professions."

Now that we have Star Trek out of our system, we can go back to the business at hand. This new poll asks you about your favorite interaction mode with new Maple 10. T4.

Hello, I was hoping someone could suggest a way to add a index counter to the title of a Maple plot. I have some snapshots of an animation that I wish to include the value of the for loop/index counter in the title. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using Maple 10. Thanks very much for any help, sbh.
