Hello, I am a brand new Maple user. I'm strictly an amateur hobbyist (at mathematics and mathematical software) in every sense, so I hope other members will understand why my questions will be so basic. I look forward to learning Maple, and will be very grateful for any assistance in the future from the Maple users community.

I know this should be posted in one of the help forums, but I would like to get some assistance as soon as possible. Can someone help me with the Dagger command in the Physics package ? I can't seem to get it to work for matrices. thanks,

Compiling the OpenMaple sample file omexample.c, and executing omexample -r I get the expected welcome, preceded by this first line: Enhanced external functions enabled.

What are these "Enhanced external functions" ? Regards, Alejandro

A real breath of fresh air post over at Mozilla Labs: the combined keyboard-graphical user interface. It makes really good points that, for user input, the bandwidth of keyboard input really can't be beaten. And of course, for output, graphical is definitely superior. I am really looking forward to seeing this in Firefox, and then hopefully have these ideas spread to other applications as well.

This is to inform you that we are now shipping the newest version of Maple T.A. – Maple T.A. 3.0. Maple T.A. is an easy-to-use web-based system for creating tests and assignments, automatically assessing student responses and performance. It supports complex, free-form entry of mathematical equations and intelligent evaluation of responses, making it ideal for mathematics, science, or any course that requires mathematics. The new edition – Maple T.A. 3.0 – comes with increased flexibility in content creation, an enhanced user interface and improved grading and assessment capabilities

Maplesoft has now posted the 11.01 update for users running Maple 11. You can download the update here . As the website mentions, this update includes improvements in the following areas:

• Differential Equations
• Maplets
• Physics Package updates
• Plot legends
• Vector Calculus

Who is entitled to Maple 11.01? Maple 11.01 is available to all users running Maple 11. If your Help>About Maple 11 dialog from the Standard Interface reads Maple 11.01, then you already have the update and no further action is required.

The recent 11 upgrade states that it has vista compatibility and.. * Maple 11.01 also provides improvements in a variety of areas, including: o Differential Equations o Maplets o Physics Package updates o Plot legends, and o Vector Calculus So is there a way to know exactly what the other enhancements are? Where can I find a web page or changelog that describes the update in more detail. thanks, DG

Dear there, The `if` operator has tortured me for the whole day. Can anybody help? Thanks so much for your time and patience. Michael Chen ======================================================================== > restart; > B11:=x1

I'm running Maple 11 on a Windows XP machine. Should I bother getting the new update for Maple 11, or is this new release not applicable to me ? v/r,

Well, that last blog entry sure generated a lot of discussion! I'm going to move on to something a bit more fun and less controversial: how to generate a 3-D plot of a polyhedron. There are different ways to do this in Maple, depending on how complicated the polyhedron is and what else you want to do with it. I've uploaded a worksheet with a few simple examples.

Besides this one, can anyone suggests any forums for getting help with mathematics? I need one in which I can use Maple to write mathematical expressions in posts. Thanks!

The last point I would make about the dice problem; is to mention a way to graph the probabilities ... as n increases.

Given that the following function determines the probability of all faces being shown when n dice are rolled (from previous work):

> P := n -> 1 - ((add((-1)^(k+1)*binomial(6,k)*(6-k)^n,k=1..5))/(6^n));

Could some one help me to plot this population balance equation ? see the attached file Download 4968_PBE.doc
