I found this version after Maple 2025 installation in Windows programs menu. It looks like a fully functional Maple version using the old GUI.

Why is it called "for screen readers"? I do not understand the link to persons with disabilites (I assume that the icon stands for it)?
In which respect is the new GUI less suited for visually impaired(?) people? I think the readabilty of the new GUI is at least as good as the old GUI.

In case Maple 2025 for Screen Readers is a fully functional Maple version, I give two thumbs up to Maplesoft. Smart move not to immediately impose a "disruptive" new GUI with allot of potential for new users to everyone.

On Ubuntu 24.04 or LinuxMint 22.1 (based on Ubuntu 24.04) I have the problem with(Matlab) funtions functionality

Matlab[openlink]();
Error, (in Matlab:-openlink) There was a problem initializing the Matlab engine. Refer to ?Matlab,setup for help configuring your system to work with the Matlab-link.  The error was: Maple/Matlab Link: Can't start Matlab engine; environment variable $MATLAB_BASEDIR not set

+ other error mesages from CLI:

starting mmatlink
In connectToMatlab
/bin/csh: /opt/MATLAB/R2024b/bin/glnxa64/libbsd.so.0: version `LIBBSD_0.7' not found (required by /bin/csh)

MATLAB R2024b using obsolete libbsd ver. 0.4.2 !!! So this is probably the problem...

$MATLAB_BASEDIR is properly defined at maple script:

# In order to link to MATLAB from within Maple, correct the following path
# and uncomment the next four lines, or define the environment variable,
# $MATLAB_BASEDIR outside this script.
if [ -z "$MATLAB_BASEDIR" ] ; then
MATLAB_BASEDIR=/opt/MATLAB/R2024b
export MATLAB_BASEDIR
fi

# C-shell is required for link to MATLAB (sudo apt install csh)

Any help???

in a lot of paper i see that they just use the Auxiliary function without mention any detail but now i have to find out how i can reach this function, always i used u=Rdiff(ln(f),x#1,2) or u=Rdiff(ln(f),y,x)  (eq17) in mw. and it is answer for me untill now without knowing finding, but i have to figure out how they reach this in more than 1000 paper i didn't see any explanation about that they just used just in one of the paper mentioned something  like a series which i think they used this series but again is so complicated for undrestanding , i will put some problem picture and now i want to know how find them  eq17 for any equation based on the series in last picture mentioned

 

second example

third example which is so  different from other and i don't know how author reach this point 

i have to find this auxiliary function by using something like series  as mentioned in other question? how i can use this series for finding my auxiliary function u= u_0+R*diff(ln(f),x)

Thanks for any help!

I'm no mechanical engineer, but are there any good failure analysis for stresses on different shapes of material in either maple or maplesim?  

I recall something, maybe, in maplesim or maple, possibly an application where I think I saw a graph with force increasing and then levelling off indicating the material broke?  I'm not exactly sure.  Maybe there are some posts somewhere but can't seem to find any. 

Hi

does anyone know when Maple Online Help will be up again?

Regards

Henning

Does Maple 2025 have a dark theme or GUI color customization?

Neither dragging the Maple Window to the screen edge nor Windows key & Arrow keys works on my
Windows 10 machine.

Is this only my installation?

Anything I can do get normal Windows windows behaviour back?

I've posted this issue in the beta forum for Maple previously, but apparently this issue was never addressed, so I am going to repost it here.

Contrary to Maple 2024, components like TextArea now ignore the general view zoom factor in Maple 2025.

I'll submit it as a software change request once Maple 2025 is on the list.

I have a student who has a problem when closing and opening a Maple file.

It seems as if Maple turns math fields into text, but still execute when using ! or !!!

The dark red part is written in a text field, but Maple still executes

If I try to write in a math field and executes, closes Maple and opens again, this does not happen, so it is not the file that is the problem.  The student is running 2024.2 version.

Can anyone explain the problem and how to solve it.

 

I am unable to add a comment or the file. I have tried several times, without any luck

In 1-D Math, subscripts can be found with crtl-F

In 2-D Math this does not work. 

Also powers of (^) cannot be searched in 2D-Math.

Are there any ways to perfom searches on subscripts or superscripts in 2-D Math?

Looking back at this question:

https://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/37691-How-Do-I-Change-The-Background-Colour

the reply by Hmm in 2009

"In Linux there is an X11 resource file for the classic worksheet, one of the settings controls the background color.  The distributed file is located in the maple/X11_defaults directory."

suggested a solution only thiis does not work for me in Maple2024. Perhaps because this worked for the classic view.

Why is there still no way to do this after 16 years or perhaps I just cannot find the option?

Is there away to change the background colour or even invert all colours?

I occasionally find myself inexplicably in a region of my worksheet that does not respond to my editing, fe.g., I cannot erae or I cannot copy. I recently typed a command-there was an error of some form and I tried unsuccessfully to edit it. Then I tried to copy the code and enter it at a prompt. It refused to enter it at the prompt but copied it below the prompt in a strnge region that I do not understand. When I retyped the command at a prompt it worked fine. I do not understand th dead regions that pop up mysteriously. (I am using Maple 2024 on a Mac) The page is too long to copy but I could upload it if given directions.

So, MaplePrimes is now accessible again after an unprecedented 5-day outage. What happened? There was no announcement of the outage beforehand, making it seem like an accident. How could it take 5 days to recover from an accident? I don't see any differences yet, so it doesn't seem as if the software that runs MaplePrimes was being updated. There's usually some official announcement of these things, but I don't see any.

I am trying to do something that was recommended in

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4583857/how-to-use-recursion-to-define-a-number-series-in-maple

but can't get the desired sequnce. See for example my code

v := proc(m) option remember; return m; end proc;
k := 5:
v(k + 1) := 0:
v(k):=1:
for i from k - 1 by -1 to 1 do
    v(i);
end do;

I get the output 1,1,1,1

I don't get it.

Hi!

I am studying Burger's equation, and I would like to see the steps that Maple takes to solve this.  "ShowSteps" doesn't seem to work.

Unfortunately, I am unable to share the worksheet I made.
