I have an expression Vector (result from a lengthy calculation) like the following:

It is obvious by inspection that a minimized for of this expression looks like this:

Proof:

But for the heck of it I can't get Maple to find that result by itself.

My attempts are in this worksheet: Maple_example.mw

TIA,

I specifically want to install the Maple 2024 version as I am implementing a open-source research project which specifically states the requirement of Maple 2024, but in the 15 days free trial version I am not able to to so, can someone please help me!

Hello,

Under Windows 11 Pro the GUI of Maple 2026.1 stuck Maple totally.

I can't even open a new document.

In Maple 2026.0 everything was ok...

This .1 release is unusable on my computer. I didn't dare to ask until today.

Open windows task manager I see that OpenJDK platform binary is the culprit.

Then.. I do NOT know what to do.

If someone has an idea I will be very happy.

Thanks and best,

Jean-Michel

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing what appears to be a problem with Numeric Formatting in Maple 2026.

I have a worksheet where I calculate a numerical value using evalf, for example:

evalf(1 - (3.7*90)/(10.4*3600))

which returns

0.4663461539

When I select the output and use the Context Panel → Numeric Format, for example:

  • Percent
  • 2 decimal places

the preview in the math container changes accordingly (e.g. showing something like 0.45), but the actual numerical output below still displays as

0.4663461539

Changing the number format, decimal places, scientific notation, etc. seems to have no effect on the displayed output.

Even if not using  evalf.

Is this the expected behavior in Maple 2026?

  • Does Numeric Formatting only apply to certain types of expressions or math containers?
  • Is there a known issue with formatting numerical output generated by evalf?
  • Am I missing a setting that enables formatting of worksheet output?

I have attached a screenshot illustrating the problem.

Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a very large system of nonlinear equations in Maple 2025, and the solver takes hours. Any Suggestions?

After starting Maple

I then tried simpler prompts like "Hello", simplify(x),...

For all prompts I get the same error message.
I am not a frequent AI user but this is the first time I see that.
Has anybody else experienced the same?

Can someone send me a prompt that should work?

(Model type was Simple.)

Update:

It seems that this error occurs, when a second instance of Maple 2026.1 is started and AI is consulted in this instance. 

I'm having a strange problem in Maple 2026. When I highlight a fraction to get Maple to display it as a percentage, it leaves the fraction unchanged. Is this a problem that others have encountered as well? And what can be done about it?

1) in Mathcad there is an exponential Threshod for the entire worksheet so that a resulat like 8*10^-10 becomes 0
Is this also possible in Maple Flow 2025 ?
2) is it possible to get rid of the trailing zeros when I choose in the options the dsiplay of number format as 3 decimal digits and 1 minimum exponent digits
Thank you

I am only occasionally using Maple versions with the new ribon user interface and noticed about 2 weeks ago that I cannot interrupt for loops under these interfaces. For example this one

for i to 1000 do
    i^i;
end do

I re-run the code today (after installing windows updates) and could interrupt before the screen was filled with output but not after executing the code a second time (without restart).

Is that reproducible on other installations?

Are there other commands that cannot be interrupted? 
If that is known, are there workarounds?

Update:
I have restarted Maple and have two worksheets open with the same code. I can repeatedly interrupt in one worksheet but not in other

I notice that Maple transactions journal does not publish any new issue ever since March this year. Based on the previous recording it is supposed to publish issue each season. When is it going to promote a new issue? My research is supposed to publish there and I believe I have made some interesting progress and it is of interest to the community.

Hello,

I found this sample code that determine the time to do matrix multiplications using cpus and gpus. I was surprised that the speedup factor was less than one.  I also did a similar speed test using python pytorch code on the same computer. The speedup factor was remarkable. Please find my mistakes, thanks.

MAPLE CODE:

kernelopts(version);
with(LinearAlgebra);
with(CUDA);
n := 4000;
M1 := RandomMatrix(n, n, datatype = float[8]);
M2 := RandomMatrix(n, n, datatype = float[8]);
printf("CUDA enabled? %a\n", IsEnabled());
tNoCUDA := time[real](M1 . M2);
printf("Time without CUDA: %.3f seconds\n", tNoCUDA);
prevSetting := Enable(true);
printf("Previous CUDA setting: %a\n", prevSetting);
printf("CUDA enabled now? %a\n", IsEnabled());
tCUDA := time[real](M1 . M2);
printf("Time with CUDA: %.3f seconds\n", tCUDA);
printf("Speedup factor: %.2f\n", evalf(tNoCUDA/tCUDA));
props := Properties();
printf("CUDA Device Properties:\n");
props;
Enable(false);
printf("CUDA enabled after disabling? %a\n", IsEnabled());

Has anyone developed an Agent Skill for Maple compliant with the Agent Skills Specification?

I frequently use Claude Code to create and edit Maple Documents. It does fine alone, but I found adding a script to do a syntax check eliminated a lot of content errors. I also presume some instructions on how it should read the Maple documentation will improve its reliability. Before I go about writing my own Skill against the specification, I just want to check if there is already one in use within the community.

I am a long-time user of Joe Riel's maplev mode in emacs. Upgraded emacs to version 30.2 and now it does not work anymore because of difficulties with something called abbrevlist. This is on MacOS. I am already on the last version of maplev.

Anyone have an idea what is going on and what to do? Somehow for me referencing a username no longer is possible (I get a blocking box with a spinner upon entering the at sign) so I can't create a notification for Joe.

TIA,

Mac Dude.

Pretty much what the title says. I am a student and I've worked with B&R Automation Studio, which is a SCADA software, with the physical automation components in the lab in college. Now that I'm on the summer break, it would be great to continue this learning via the B&R connector that Maple offer, to create a "digitial twin". However, there doesn't seem to be any information as to whether MapleSim is actually included in the student edition, and whether the connector is included too.

Thanks
