That's interesting. Thanks for showing us. I wonder whether I missed seeing that, in the Typsetting help-pages or assistant. acer

Is the 11.01 update available on CD? Could a user who's purchased 11.00 get 11.01 CD, either as a partial update or as the full install? acer

The help-page ?Statistics,Fit says that it will end up calling either Statistics[LinearFit] or Statistics[NonlinearFit] to do the actual work. The routine Statistics[NonlinearFit] takes an optional argument which specifies ranges for the parameters. See ?Statistics,Regression,Options for details. An example might look something like this, Statistics[NonlinearFit](...., parameterranges = [a=0..infinity,b=0..infinity,w=0..infinity,t0=0..infinity]); acer

When I was young, we were taught in school that a function was both a domain as well as a rule or mapping. (The domain part seems missing from Maple's concept of function, but whether that's "wrong" is another story I suppose.) If you demand that function huur has a domain of only the positive integers then should you perhaps be using plots[pointplot] ? By the way, I consider a modification of huur, which is zero at real points other than the positive integers, to be mathematically distinct from your defined function huur whose domain is only the posints. ps. In Maple 11.01 and Maple 11.00, does ?pointplot bring up a help-page disambiguator, or does it bring up only ?Statistics[PointPlot] ? By which I mean, does one have to actually issue ?plots,pointplot in order to see the plots[pointplot] help-page? If so, then that'd look like a bug of a missing help alias. acer

The Maple 11.00 Installer for x86-64 is named Maple11LinuxX86_64Installer.bin , I believe. I believe that it comes in the (boxed) CD sets on which the single-user Windows and 32bit Linux Installers also appear. I don't understand whether the webstore allows it to be downloaded, or not. (The webstore distinguishes between, say Intel OSX and PowerPC OSX. But for Linux it just has the single entry, "Linux", in the drop-down box. Maybe this is an oversight?) I also don't understand whether one can download multiple versions, for intended use on the same machine, but at the cost of just one. Suppose for example that your machine were dual-boot Windows & Linux. Maybe you might then wish to have both Windows and Linux Maple available for use. I don't know whether it'd make a difference, in the above, according to whether the purchase was student, commercial, or academic. Your best bet might be to contact Maplesoft's technical support, and find out whether this is possible via doanloads. acer

Does this work with Maple 11, to make the older Classic GUI work with the X86_64_LINUX Maple kernel, under 64bit Linux? In other words, do the (mostly symlink) contents of the download 1_X86_64_LINUX_CLASSIC.tgz suffice for Maple 11? Or, were there perhaps a few more Classic-related binaries, new since Maple 10, that needed special treatment? acer

I'm afraid that the near-blank Standard GUI that you are seeing is new to me. You might also try installing the native 64bit Linux version, given that your OS is 64bit debian (if I recall rightly). You'd then start that with just plain `xmaple`. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be "allowed" to install and use both, yourself, on your own same machine. Trying it might also give some hint about the 32bit version on your machine, according to whether it succeeds or fails in the same way. I would have thought that the JRE that comes with Maple 11 would be at least correct. Of course, if you decide to shunt Maple's aside, and point instead at one of your own installing, then you'll want to make it 32bit or 64bit as appropriate. I would probably try a 1.5.xxx first off. good luck, acer

It's not quite clear which version you installed, the 32bit or the 64bit. Which Installer did you run? Also, following all the hints in this thread is a mistake. It should be completely unnecessary to add any symlinks under the maple installation directory, by hand, in order to get either 32bit or 64bit version to work with the Standard GUI or TTY interfaces. So adding the symlinks as suggested here by kiwi is wrong. Following psz's advice to install some additional 32bit OS runtime, so that the Maple Installers might work, might be OK. (Of course, it may actually be a Maplesoft bug if the Maple Installer for X86_64_LINUX actually needs 32bit runtime support. Oh well.) Suppose that you have a 64bit Debian. Suppose further that you have installed all the optional 32bit runtime packages. You might then be able to install both the 64bit and the 32bit Maple 11 for Linux. Note that, in such a case, entering, %< your maple11 path > /bin/maple would start the 64bit version, while entering, %< your maple11 path > /bin/maple -binary IBM_INTEL_LINUX would force the 32bit version. As far as the problem with the interface goes, I'm not sure. Assuming that you didn't do anything weird after installing (eg, those symlinks) then the first thing that comes to mind it your hint that you might be using a dual-monitor display. acer

Thanks for that. But now I am wondering what an ebook is, and why a beta version of a reader would be bundled within an 11.01 point-release. Does the point-release include any documentation of this thing, and of why it is included? It looks strange, having beta software installed, without description, and with its purpose and documentation only to be forthcoming at some unspecified future date. acer

How can I find out what is this Maple Reader? acer
