It is never a good error message but I have not been able to find out whatit means.

 

Thanks,

why is Maple 14 balking?

April 21 2011 by awass 151 Maple 14

I have a matrix m with 9 rows and 4 columns and when I enter the command below I get an error message:


num := product((z-(m[s,1]+I*m[s,2])),s = 1..9);
Error, Matrix index out of range

However, there is no problem if I use brute force:

I played aorund a bit with the "Insert Table" command and it seems to create just an inert object that cannot be accessed or operated upon except directly by typing into its boxes. Is that true? Is it just for word processing?

Here is a simple sequcnce of commands that execute without a problem:
restart;
eq1 := 5+3*x=0:
eq2 := 2+7*x-3*y-5*x*y=0:
x:=solve(eq1,x):
y:=solve(eq2,y):
lprint('x'=x,'y'=y);


x = -5/3, y = 29/16


If I put the commands into a procedure there are problems:

I am using Maple 12.01 and I am using dsolve to solve a second order ODE;  example :

eq:=diff(y(t),t,t)+sin(t)*diff(y(t),t)+y(t)^2-5*y(t)=0;

ic:=a->[D(y)(0)=0,y(0)=a]; # initial conditions.
 

I want to investigate the  values of z(t, y, y') when g(t, y,y') = 0. Here z might be y''' or cos(t y') and g  might be y(t)-4.

What I would like to do is create an Array whose nth entry is of the form [ tn, z(tn,y(tn), y'(tn)]  where tn is the nth value of t at which the condition g(t, y,y') = 0 is satisfied.

what is maple doing?

Here is a recent session on Maple 12.1. The exact thing happens on Maple 11.5. I define a vector x , Maple acknowledges the fact but then if I ask if x is, in fact, that vector it says no. Any idea of what is going on? with(LinearAlgebra): > x := Vector(2, [1, 0]); Note Maple correctly prints transpose [1 0] on screen. [1] x := [ ] [0] if x=Vector(2, [1, 0]) then 7 else 3 end if; 3 is(x=Vector(2, [1, 0]));

stop!!!

In previous versions of Maple there was an abort/interrupt capability-one could hold down the command key and a period at the same time and eventually Maple would stop the calculation. (Mac worksheet interface). Now there is an interrupt icon which is frequently ignored by Maple. I am currently in an ∞ loop and cannot get out! Help!
(I think this was posted in the wrong section of mapleprimes.) Hi, I have read the manual on saving to a file many times but it never works for me. I am using Maple 10 on a Mac running MacOS 10.4.10. I have copied the example from the manual and run that and it does work so I am quite confused. Here is what I would like to do: I have a worksheet with lots of definitions,equations, lists, etc. and I would like to have these available on another worksheet. I have tried > save nx; # nx is the name of my worksheet then > read nx; Error, unable to read `nx` I have the same problem with trying to save names e.g.
