Sleep Sort is a hilarious (to me anyway) joke dressed up as a sorting algorithm.

Here it is in non-obfuscated (if somewhat garbagey) Maple code (need version 15 since it uses ?Threads,Sleep )

SleepSort := proc(L::list(posint),$)
local Lout, p, i;
    Lout := NULL;

    p := proc(n::posint,$)
        Threads:-Sleep(n);
        Lout := Lout, n;
    end proc:

    Threads:-Wait( seq( Threads:-Create( p(i...

for the record, I just discovered that while you can save a worksheet with a name like

mywork,mapleprimes.mw

you cannot open it (with Maple 15, June 2011)

Maple will return an error message like "file mapleprimes.mw could not be found" (swallowing up the "mywork," part of the name)

but if you rename it mywork-mapleprimes.mw

it will work fine.

In other words, do not insert commas in file names.

MapleSim has been delivering unique advantages in physical modeling and system simulation for many years. Today we release the latest iteration: MapleSim 5. Looking back at some of the earlier versions of our software, it is hard to believe that this is the same product; from the user interface to the component libraries to the simulation engine, every part of the system has experienced a striking evolution.

Like its predecessors, MapleSim 5 is based on the Maple mathematical...

The order of 1 in any finite field (that I tried) created by GF is NULL. For example,

F:=GF(3,2):
use F in order(one) end;

It should be 1.

Answering to that question, I posted several procedures finding minimal polynomials for the elements of finite fields. The best one was the following,

alias(a=RootOf(T^100+T^97+T^96+T^93+T^91+T^89+T^87+T^86+T^82+T^81+T^71+T^70+T^67+T^61+
T^60+T^57+T^54+T^53+T^52+T^49+T^48+T^45+T^44+T^42+T^39+T^36+T^33+T^32+T^31+T^29+T^28+T^27+
T^26+T^24+T^23+T^22+T^18+T^17+T^16+T^14+T^13+T^12+T^10+T^8+T^7+T^6+T^3+T+1)):

F:=GF(2,100,op(a)):
z:=F:-input(2):

MinPolyGF:=proc(x,y:=_X)
local A, i;
A:=Matrix(100,...

I'm learning to handle the output of pdsolve. It is a module and I'm quite new to that. The objective is to plot the solution for different values of, say, time t, in a fairly systematic way. I'll consign here my progress for reference. Feel free to comment if you have suggestions.

 sol := pdsolve
  ( diff(u(x, t), t) = (1/10)*(diff(u(x, t), x, x))
  , {u(0, t) = 0, u(x, 0) = 1, (D[1](u))(1, t) = 0}
  , numeric
  );

The Magma package introduced in Maple 15 includes the command Enumerate. This routine allows you to count, or list, isomorphism class representatives of magmas of a given (small) order satisfying a selection of properties that...

The ongoing spam problem has made this site unusable. Even after spam is removed, it's effect on the "recent" pages persists. This is a months-old problem.

And after over a year the site still has no good support for displaying mathematics, or for entering 2D Maple input.

And there is no indication of any clear and concrete plan to properly address either of these problems, despite repeated requests and inquiries by members.

Hello:

I'm studying many time ago the quantum chemistry of rectivity . so far, I can arrive to news theories from my experince on Maple productcs as they are incorporated in my theoric equations. I have glad  on communicat my previous results on Chemical Reactivity and Uniffied Field. botn of those ara closely related and my purpose is obtain diffusion and comments on these.

- My first paper was on Chemical Reactivity (Kinetics and Dynamics) and...

Here is the progress made in the investigation of what I call the convergents constants:
https://oeis.org/wiki/Table_of_convergents_constants

I wonder if anyone would be interested in adding anything to it. I would like to see the convergents constants studied some in Maple to compare with my Mathematica results; my investigation is in dire need of some proof other than my...

Most of the time I don't know what or why things are happening here on the mapleprimes site. 

I don't want it as a post or question as it gets shuffled down and is useless later on anyway. 

I would like a news section to inform me and everyone else of what is currently being worked on (ie the site programmers are currently working on ....  currently tags for posts are being updated), what is currently happening (spam attack - although this seems to be on the upswing lately...
