A new edition of Maplets for Calculus  (M4C) is now available.  M4C v1.3 is a collection of 129 maplets for calculus students and instructors.  The 35 new maplets fill in some gaps in the coverage of precalculus and single variable calculus and begin to address multivariate topics. Each maplet provides a customized graphical user interface (using 2D and 3D graphics and animation) to provide immediate, step-by-step guidance through an endless supply of random ...

I would like to pay the attention of the MaplePrimes users
to a Robert Chero application.
This is a Maple package on graphics, which can be implemented in Maple as a usual package.
It  has community rating 4.5 stars. This package can be downloaded from http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=1671.
It was submitted in 2005 when MaplePrimes started. Because of this reason this...

A sign of a very successful period of work is the tally of how many email messages I’ve written that start with … “First, let me apologize for the delay in my response…” Yes, if you are the recipient of one of these notes from me, you’re probably more annoyed than pleased that I’m finding lots of very interesting things to fill up my ever-shrinking Outlook schedule. It’s been one heck of a summer, and I’m behind on countless...

In examining ODE models containing parameters I don't like to assign values to these, but use the form

param:={a=2, b=7};
and then
eval(expression, param);

This works well. There are situations, however, where this method can be cumbersome.
This would be the case in a situation like this:

plot(a*sin(x),x=0..b);

You could do

plot(op(eval([a*sin(x),x=0..b],param)));

But maybe an operator having a syntax similar to 'assuming' could be useful.

I came across a website that tracked website usage.  I decided to see if Maplesoft existed there in the top million.  To my surprise, it did!  It may not by all means be useful but it is interesting.  The size of the icon is dependant on the popularity  http://nmap.org/favicon/?q=www.maplesoft.com

I also dedided to check out where our competitors stand.  Interestingly...

It is already September and there has been no updates for the latest Maple release.  Am I to expect that when I purchase the newest copy of Maple that what I buy is what I get and there maybe no updates?  I mean Maple 10 was on the market for a full 2 years with updates, 6 to be exact, so users must have pretty satisfied with the service, hopefully.  And Maple 11 users had their version on the market 3 months longer than Maple 12 although from...

A new edition of The Mathematics Survival Kit – Maple Edition is now available.  It contains 25 new topics, which were created in response to requests from readers of the first edition of the book. New materials range from basic operations such as factoring and fractions, to graph sketching, vectors, and integration.

The Math Survival Kit gives students the opportunity to review exactly the concept or technique they are stuck on, learn what they need to know,...

As a user of Maple 13, namely in computations on General Relativity & Tensor Calculus, I would like to let you know I just got, using Maple 13, the WRONG SIGN (positive Riemann scalar curvature in stead of correct NEGATIVE Riemann scalar curvature) in studying a threefold used as a 'Public Space' by Milne many years ago.

The square of the distance on the said threefold is dE^2=dR^2+(c*t0)^2*sinh(R/(c*t0))^2*(dtheta^2+sin(theta)^2*dphi^2) and you might be interested...

If I assign a list to a variable named depth it causes invalid object errors in for loops for Maple12

depth:=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]:

for i from 1 to 4 do
  i;
end do;

Error, invalid object: mspace(height = "0.0ex",width = "0.0em",[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] = "0.0ex",linebreak = "newline") and  1 additional error.

As sometimes the question comes up "how to have a pdf documents for this?" here is a free way to such on Windows:

PDFCreator

Essentially by that you install a printer, which just does it. And as such allows to print threads here from the board, or Maple sheets or simply from any application.

After some configuration hanky-panky it is easy to use.

When I see a listing of my own posts/questions, I would rather like to see a listing much like in the format shown here www.mapleprimes.com/recent/all  showing the postings less all the summaries. 

This would speed up my searching if I, or anyone else, was looking for a particular post of mine, or someone elses.

Let's compare the performance of two methods of computing the inverse of a large datatype=float[8] Matrix.

The two methods are that of calling `MatrixInverse`,...

If you want better performance then don't use 2D Math mode to enter procedures which call  `.` (dot).

The following timings are not the result of the order in which the cases are performed. The timings stay roughly the same if the blocks delimited by restarts are executed out of order.

Most of the comparisons (that I've seen so far) amongst Maple, Matlab, and Mathematica are either incomplete, inaccurate, or biased.
