Can't find information about the User Dictionary in Help. Finally found a reference for Maple 8 on the web, and it got me to the correct place in Maple 12.

If it's there, perhaps we need a better link to it; if not, perhaps it could be added...

Not talking about giving wrong answer (as, for example, in A110375 thread), many Maple comands are amazingly inefficient. For example, SearchAll from ListTools pakage,

time(ListTools:-SearchAll(2,['$1..1000'$1000]));

                                33.977

Compare it, say, with the following obvious way of doing that:

I'd like to see the following examples in the help page for sqrt,

sqrt(149^3);

                        149*sqrt(149);

sqrt(151^3);

                        sqrt(3442951);

If you go the Help in Maple 12 Standard for "page numbers" you find directions to go to Format and look for Page Numbers, but there is no Page Numbers under Format in Maple 12 Standard (there is in Maple 12 Classic).

 

How about making it so that if I copy and paste the following lines from any common word processor (Word, Wordpad, Notepad,etc)

f:=proc(x::list)
local i;
add(i,i=x);
end proc;

into a Standard Maple 12 worksheet I dont get  > at the beginning of every line.

Not that if I copy and paste the lines into Classic I don't get the extra >'s.

When you highlight an equation in Maple and drag it to another program, a word processor for example, a small image of it is produced. It would be great to be able to select the format and resolution of these images. Specifically, it would be nice to be able to choose from jpg, gif, or a pdf clipping, and to choose compression levels and resolution, whether or not to include a background mask (or just the text itself), and how much margin to add to the clipping.

I notice that when I am in Help and select something in quotes, such as "Teal", the editor will select only Teal, not "Teal", when I double-click Teal. This is what I expect.

I need to use plots (I think) because I want to scale the plot image and I can't do that (as far as I know) unless I use a plot component.

BUT, I get a border around the plot. I'd like a borderless plot just like the inline plot.

I believe that the basic language in which the Maplesoft writers

code Maple is Java.  That means that the programmers at Maplesoft

had to have written TONS of Java classes, such as LinearAlgebra,

with lots of methods, such as resultants and determinants.

I would think they would have posted these Java classes into the Java library

Print preview doesn't respond to PageUp and PageDown keys.
It would be nice to control the size of plots w/o using the embedded components.
Plot should accept: nolegend or legend = [] (empty set). Many times I don't want a legend, and I shouldn't have to specify something like "legend = ["", "", "", ""]".

Hi,

whenever i want to plot a function without specifying an initial plotting range, for example by rightclicking on an expression and select plot, i get an y-range from 0 to 10^9 or worse. It happens  mostly when  the expression contains poles, for example 1/x^3. A better heuristic would be nice.

 

 

Hi,

 

I would like to suggest that Maplesoft provide a Finite Element Analysis package.

A straightforward well-supported way of setting up these problems would definitely be of value to those who are not experts.

 

Regards.

 

Visual Studio Express which is a small version of Visual Studio available for free download, has appeared to be very successful in 2 directions. First, it practically killed all other C and C++ compilers for Windows, as well as decreased number of people using cygwin and mingwin. Second, many people downloaded it and used it for some time at home, have made their companies to buy Professional or Team Suite versions for their work. It started with VS 2005 and continues now with VS 2008.

Take a look at one of the most successful software companies, Microsoft.

Their most successful operating system names were either year-related, 95, 98, and 2000, or had some names, XP and Vista. Their latest Office software were named as Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2007.  Visual Studio .NET, 2005, and 2008.

Continuing traditional Maple naming scheme, the next version would be Maple 13, with number 13 that many consider being unlucky.

I suggest to apply the successful Microsoft naming strategy instead and name it Maple 2009.

Hello!

My kittens finally managed to destroy my macbook pro, it was on its way out, but clearly the kittens had a grudge.  It was a first generation but still was my finest machine to date. 

Now being back in school and .. well just dont have the money flow for now, I am wondering what people think about the performance of Maple on a Macbook, will it be sufficient for a student (mathematics)? 

I know most people here are on PC's but Im sticking with OS x.

heres the specs:
