I was wondering whether MapleSoft has opted for an outdated concept. Here is Gemini's answer:

A "better" GUI for Word is subjective, as different users have different needs. The current ribbon interface is great for discovering features, but it can also feel cluttered.

With the former GUI (having a larger quick acess bar) and a tool bar (in red)

only one click was required with substantially less mouse movement.

Personally I would switch to the new GUI with the following improvements

• a quick access bar that is customizable
• a smart ribbon that switches to the edit mode tab when the cursor is placed on editable text or a new text/input/document block is inserted

Having the functions that I use most frequently available in the quick access tool bar (highlighted in yellow) would allow me to minimize the ribbon with the same productivity and even more screen space as before.

Keyboard shortcuts that differ from standard OS shortcuts are not a viable alternative for me.

Overall, the direction with the new ribbon seems to be right to get new users productive faster. It seems to be a good choice without clear alternatives, and its graphical design aligns much better with the core values Maple provides.

However, becoming productive fast does not mean that the productivity is high. From this perspective the former GUI is not outdated yet. The workflow with it is much faster and more focussed on math and code.

Perhaps MapleSoft has solutions that will make the new GUI even more productive than the former GUI. This would be great!

Like i said before i have to change it to Maple 2025 should i download the 2025? and will my data disappear? or not?

Best regards MR

In Maple 2025, there are many strange issues, such as plot errors in math apps under Computer Science > Boolean Algebra, which did not occur in Maple 2024. Furthermore, in the 2025 version, when you open load package, some packages are blocked, and you must hide the taskbar to see the blocked packages. Finally, the Ribbon interface in Maple 2025 is really not suitable. Restart and startup code should not be placed in Home; some interfaces should be removed, or an option to retain the 2024 interface should be provided. I sincerely hope my suggestions are taken into consideration. Thank you.

Is there any difference in the algorithm used to compute reduced Gröbner bases (via the Basis command) between Maple 18 and the newest version of Maple? Have there been any significant optimizations, changes to default strategies, or efficiency improvements?

I am trying to use Maple to view some 120,000 x 120,000 matrices with rational entries on a linux box with 504GB of RAM. Unfortunately when I run the command

read "/home/user/source_file.txt"

maple issues an Execution stopped: Stack limit reached error. Running the kernelopts command seems to indicate that the default stack limit is 8160 on this system. I have tried setting

kernelopts(stacklimit=13560)

but the same error is always issued at around 7 GB of RAM usage (according to htop). Is there any way around this in Maple?

As the following worksheet shows, Student:-NumericalAnalysis:-MatrixDecomposition cannot factorize the input matrix  and throws an error, but if we simply reorder or exchange the elements of , no error will be raised. (The reason for setting  is that LinearAlgebra:-LUDecomposition can be used for other methods.)

The last instance above suggests that it only works on about half of the inputs (that are equivalent to each other). Although I tried changing the value of Digits, the failure rate remained high. Is Student:-NumericalAnalysis:-MatrixDecomposition not robust enough? 

I experience the following quirk using maple 2025 in worksheet mode: copy a formula and then paste it can often freeze the program. Termination only via ctrl-Alt-delete task manager. Has anybody similar problems or should i think that is happening only in my case?

Hi! I need a help for solve PDE problem (diffusion problem) in bipolar system coordinates. Actually, to begin with, I wanted to try to solve the homogeneous diffusion equation in a bipolar coordinate system with given boundary conditions. The process is not stationary, for simplicity, the diffusion coefficient is a constant (or linearly depends on η). The source function is also specified on the right side. The problem is that I cannot construct a correct exact solution, and the PDESolve function gives a very strange solution. The question is whether it is possible to solve a homogeneous and then a non-homogeneous solution automatically, or will it be necessary to manually specify parts of the general solution (homogeneous and particular solution)?

A document with a brief description and code for solving the equation is provided in the file. I ask for help with solving this problem, any valuable comments will be useful!

====UPDATE===
I try to set Neumann conditions for solve this problem, but get error:
Error, (in PDEtools:-Library:-NormalizeBoundaryConditions) unable to isolate the functions {u(0,eta), u(xi,1.1), u(2*Pi,eta)} in the given boundary conditions {u(0,eta) = u(2*Pi,eta), u(xi,1.1) = 0}

To organize windows, Windows 11 provides a new function "Snap Layout". The example screen shot below shows options to place the Maple 2025 Screen Reader window.  

Draging now Maple 2025.1 Screen Reader to the left window of the third option results in the following selection screen

where on the right a list of tasks to chose from is presented. In this list Maple 2025.1 is missing. However Maple 2025.1 was running as can be seen from the task bar.

Has anybody managed to position Maple 2025.1 windows with the Snap Layout (or alternatively with Win+Arrow keys) or at least reproduce what I see on my computer?

Why can a Maple 2025.1 window be adjusted by hand but Windows does not do this in Snap Layout?

(Dragging and adjusting a Maple window by hand is not an option. This is how we had to work before Windows 7.)

Hello,

I’m trying to solve a problem from Modern Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers using Maple, specifically applying the Fokas method (Unified Transform) to the heat equation on the half-line. The problem setup matches Example 9.1 from the book.

Everything runs fine until I try to plot the solution using plot3d.
 

Download fokas_method.mw

Has anyone successfully handled similar integrals inside plot3d? Is there a better way to numerically evaluate the Fokas integral so Maple can plot it efficiently?

I'm solving the 1D heat equation using two different approaches, both involving Fourier transforms.

1. First Attempt: Using pdsolve the Fourier method. This code either takes a very long time or doesn't produce a plot at all.

2. Second Attempt: Manual Fourier transform. This one works fine and quickly plots the result.

Why does the first version using pdsolve(..., method = Fourier) result in slow or non-responsive behaviorplot3d, while the second version (manual transform) runs efficiently? Is the pdsolve result too symbolic or unevaluated for plotting? How can I make the first approach plot correctly?

Thanks for any insights!

The problem seems to be more with the editor than the MultiSet, but I can't think of a way how to ask the question outside of this context (I am very much not a programmer). MultiSet is a set with multiplicities, i.e. each of its element can belong more than once, for example

constructs MultiSet with a appearing twice, b - five times, and c - four times. Remove is the operation of removing element from a MultiSet, possibly with prescribed multiplicity, for example in

we asked Maple to remove three of b's, and therefore the MultiSet M was left with only two of them (the lone 2 in the output says how many are left, then M is displayed to ilustrate that). Both screenshots are taken from the linked maplesoft page on Remove.

However, when I repeat the same example on Maple 2025 (on a PC), I get something quite different

so that b is deleted from M altogether. I checked that this does not happen on Maple 2019 on another PC. While writing this question and playing with other examples of the same kind, I noticed (viewing what Maple stores in memory) that it seems that "Remove(M,b,3)" is executed twice whenever the cursor enters its line (without me executing it, and without producing output). The same happens with Insert. When I don't touch the line (e.g. if Remove is inside of a loop), everythig works as expected.

It seems that if a command directly changes an object (i.e. I don't need to redefine said object) then Maple executes it silently whenever the cursor touches it. I can't think of other commands that directly change objects (again, not a programmer, can't even think how to phrase it correctly). The question is as in the title: why and how Maple 2025 does that? I did check for options that look like enabling automatic execution but found nothing active and/or related. Any help will be much appreciated.

Recently, I was surprised by the fact that it is not possible to create a table, where the values of entries are tables.

Toy example:

T1:=table(["1"=table(["first"=12, "second"=15]), "2"= table(["first"=9, "second"=7])]);

The code

T1["1"];

doesn't return table(["first"=12, "second"=15])

If table has lists in right-hand side

T1:=table(["1"=[12, 15], "2"= [9, 7]]);

all works properly.

We have just released an update to Maple. Maple 2025.1 includes several enhancements to the new interface, as well as various small corrections throughout the product. As always, we recommend that all Maple 2025 users install this update.

In particular, please note that this update includes a fix to the problem where new documents were opening in a new window instead of a new tab.  Thanks for helping us, and other users, by letting us know!

This update is available through Tools>Check for Updates in Maple, and is also available from the Maple 2025.1 download page on web site, where you can also find more details.

MapleSim 2025

We are happy to announce that we just released MapleSim 2025. This release includes a new component library to support the modeling of motor drives and updates to several in-product apps that make it even easier to perform optimization and analysis.

See What’s New in MapleSim for details.

I am new to Windows 11 (edit: I was forced to migrate from 10).

I am looking for an option to resize the Window that the interupt button becomes accessible (see red box)

Also: there are no window controls (maximize minimize) visble . (edit: the title bar is clipped off).

Window key + arrow key does not work.

I have also tried the Snap Layout option to resize but cannot find Maple 2025.1 under the selectable tasks.

What else can I try?
