I am taking up a research project that another student began last semester that utilizes Maple.  His program solved the problem correctly, but the program takes ages to do so. My Professor concluded that the other student erred because Excel can instantly handle the calculations while Maple can not.  Unfortunately, I've been looking at the code this other student wrote and cannot seem to figure out what went wrong.

I remember reading in the past that...

On another topic, I was curious about programming style in Maple.

If I declare these large matrices as local outside my procedures, can I pass them in as arguments by reference (like C++)?  Or should I just make them global?  What is the typically protocol here?

I am a little confused with exactly how arguments are passed into procedures.  More specifically, I am unsure what conditions determine whether or not a variable passed into a procedure...

Hey! I am pretty new to Maple, although I have a decent amount of experience programming in C++.  I am trying to simulate the physical properties of a baseball for a research project, and I was wondering how I can create an array of vector objects.  I know that the physics package supports vectors, and, in essence, I want to create an array that will store the 3 velocity components of a ball over 120 time intervals; however, If there is another data structures that...
