    hello,
    im tryig to install maple 10 on my suse 10.1 system. I allready edited the bin and replayed the "e" of the first "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" line with a "#".

    The installer installed after that but there are no files in my maple/bin folder... so i dont have a chance to exectue a file...

    thanks
    Dennis
    Perseverance pays. As someone else commented, Maple has been around for a while and their are different packages that are kept for backward compatability but may be incompatible with more modern versions. Likewise the basic tools that take advantage of the new packages aren't always in place yet. Now that I have a better handle on this aspect of Maple's structure I am having many fewer issues. I now know how to recognize the symptoms of such collisions. More specifically, while I was originally frustrated with VectorCalculus I am now quite a fan once I got a hold of how it works. I just needed to translate how I do things on a blackboard (or on paper) to how Maple wants to see it. Beyond that, I also have to be able to explain what I am doing to others. For anyone moving along the same path I suggest going back to basics. I pulled an old vector calc. book off the shelf and re-examined how to think about the basic definitions (I teach physics, not math, so I tend to take a lazy "let's just get it done" approach to complex math problems). I then saw immediately what the programmers were trying to do and how they were doing it. I also found it helpful to build some visualization tools which will help this coming year as I build some presentations. By going through the process myself and reviewing how I would go about generalizing some of the problems encountered in vector calc I was able to understand the approach Maple was taking.
    I'm new to this forum so I hope this is the right board to post this. I've been using Maple in windows for a few years, I usually only use Maple classic. Recently I installed SuSE 10.1 32bit (kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13-smp) on my desktop (dual core Opteron 165 with 2GB RAM), and I installed Maple 10 Linux version onto it. The problem is that the Maple classic often takes 30 seconds to 1 minutes to load some .mws files , while in Windows these files can be opened in 1-2 seconds. I've tried to upgrade to Maple 10.04, and the problem remains, and I noticed that after I typed "xample -cw" in the terminal, there is a message shows "only the first 8192 fonts would be catched"
    This is the kind of thing that can drive a beginner crazy. The behavior of the engine changes as a result of including different libraries. The engine isn't extended, it is changed. This makes for a very tough learning curve.
    I have been playing with Maple on and off for 3 months. This summer, now that school is out, I have set about trying to master this environment. My frustration with Maple has subsided a bit only to be replaced with an understanding of its limitations. I set about building my own package of doing surface and flux integrals as a way of discovering how to manipulate expressions. I think I know why Maple is so tough. I read somewhere on these forums a diatribe on what seemed an esoteric nuance in the difference between the way Mathematica approaches functions vs the way Maple does. Mathematica is essentially a functional programming language wrapped around list structures (ala LISP). In mathematica everything, at the ground level, is a list. Various types get defined for different quantities but they are essentially lists. Maple defines its types internally. I don't know how they are put together (rtables?) Maple has evolved over time so that these types have grown to a huge number that are hard to keep track of. The inability of maple functions to screen their inputs for different data types means that the Maple programmers have to write lots of different functions for the different data types. This is a very old style of programming.
    Hi, I'm trying to use 'numeric dsolve' to solve a system of differential equation. dsol:=dsolve(sys,[phi(t),phi1(t),psi(t),psi1(t),theta(t),x(t)],numeric,output=operator) Now I need to substitute the solution obtained for the unknowns into another expression. What would be the best way to do it/ or what should the output format be? Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanx, Priya
    Since doing the upgrade for Maple 10.05 (build ID 235106) I have experienced long delays after scrolling in addition to kernel connection problems I described in a previous post. With a 2 page file in document format, I get a delay of over 1.5 minutes after scrolling up the page. This has rendered my copy of Maple unusable in document format. Has no one else experienced these problems? Is there a fix or a way to return to the previous version of Maple?
    The 2006 Maple Conference began yesterday at Wilfred Laurer University in Waterloo, Ontario Canada. People from around the world have gathered in order to exchange ideas, learn new things and enjoy the company of the Maple User Community. If you are currently attending the conference, please add a comment to this post and tell us how you are are finding the conference thus far.
    Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest upgrade to Maple 10.05 for OS X. Today I find that I can open two worksheet sessions, but not a third. Opening a third file takes ages (approx. 30 sec) and when I try to execute the file, I get the message "Waiting for kernel connection." This behavior is consistent over several tries. I have a Power PC with 1 GB SD RAM. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
    I have a list of coordinates that need to be used to create 3d polygons. I need only the outline of each polygon to be graphed (no fill) so that I can see the placement pattern of a line traveling through the polygons. Is there a way to do this? I've tried using polygonplot3d and listplot3d, but neither provide the graph I want.

    Thanks!
    Hello; I am not sure how to graph a sinusoid. Example: y=A+B sin (theta - D) How do you make a theta? graph: y=10 +5 sin(0theta+30degrees) graph: y = 2 - 3 cos( theta - 45 degree) Thanks; MC
    It would be nice to have keyboard shortcuts for superscripting and subscripting in text mode like those of math mode in Document format. (Maple 10.03, OS X 10.3.9)
    Hello, I am trying to plot a surface with Maple and could not figure out the right way. The surface consists of two pieces seperated by a inequality and it is defined by the following given functions and inequality: x = f(s) y = g(s) if y
