  • Here, using the toolbar, I attempt to enter x-squared, using the superscript button: x. It shows up fine when I type this, but I don't see the raised 2 in the post.

    I thought for sure something like this would have already been done in Maple (mapleprimes).  I see it's already been done over at Mathematica.  I must admit I am a bit jealous at how much Mathematica users have done.  So anyways ... something simple

    This is the third post in a four-part series; the earlier posts are Generating...

    This is not a question about any technical problem with Maple.I'm not even sure that is it a question or a post.Since I'm asking something inside it,I consider it as a question.I'm sorroy that it is too long.

     

    In scientific computing(computational physics/chemestry/biology/enginnering),which needs a large amount of data to manipulate and then simulate,some high level programming languages(HLL) are used.

    Different fields have different language of choice...

    This is just an idea.  Each mapleprimes user would have an adobe file (user booklet) containing all of the posts/blogs/questions he/she has ever posted/blogged/asked on mapleprimes which would be available to mapleprimes users for download.

    I think it's a neat idea but I don't know how viable it is. 

    As a solution to solve the disjointed answers here on mapleprimes for answers bubbling up and causing a terrible mixed flow of answers.

    I propose that users have the option to have the answers sorted by date answered OR by thumbs up.  That way the flow of an answered post(question) can be followed properly or the user may just want to see the best answer first.  However I find in general I want to read all of the answers to the post but bubbling is not good...

    This is the second post in a four-part series that started with this post: Generating...

    Maple's Statistics package contains many predefined probability distributions; well-known ones such as the normal distribution and lesser-known ones such as the Gumbel distribution. For these distributions, we ship efficient algorithms that can quickly generate a large number of sample points. To generate a sample of size 106 of both of these distributions, and print the time it took to do this (in seconds), you can run the following:

    with(Statistics):

    Consider the following C code:

    I've received a suggestion offline saying that I should animate the Pacman. There are two items to animate: Pacman's mouth and pac-dots. To review how pacman's mouth moves, please have a quick look at Google Pacman doodle.

    Pacman's mouth only has three stages: open, half open and close. Let's take the pacman that I created in the previous post. Each frame of the animation is done by adjusting the radian values of the "pie" (aka Pacman's body and mouth).

    I stumbled upon this interesting quirk.  My apologies if it's already been brought up.  This is for Maple 12 on a 32 bit windows machine.  It's possibly different for newer versions and operating systems. 

    restart;
    gc();
    memory usage displays 1.37M

    restart; gc();
    memory usage displays 0.43M

    The point was that it uses more than a half a megabyte more if gc() is put on a seperate line ... interesting..

    This describes in more detail (with permission and citation) the method posted here of solving problem 2 in the XKCD comic Substitute.

    Today is my birthday, and in fact it is also the birthday of at least one other Maplesoft employee (not surprising since more than 23 people work here - considering the generalized birthday problem, I even know of 3 people here who share the same birthday).  Of course, it turns out that birthdays are not evenly distributed through out the year and so I wanted to know if someone with an August birthday is more likely to share than someone with an April birthday. 

    My goal is to make maple better so here I am going to point
    out another annoying thing in Maple. If you for example want to have
    two plots side by side (I know your question is about two plots in the
    same chart but I still think is relevant) in an array then such a array becomes very hard to delete.

    A:=Aray(1..2):

    A[1]:=plot(....)
    A[2]:=plot(...):

    display(A);

     

    plot1    plot2


    Now the Array A...

    Look at this article (Its loading can take a few minutes: approximately 5 MB.). All those pictures could be created with Maple.
