Why do I get this wrong result when I try to solve formally this ode (note that acer has already obtained its implicit form here implicit)

                             0 = 1

Thanks in advance

Not that I can't sleep quietly without it, but why is the possibility of receiving a vote or being selected as the best answer (ok, this rarely happens) no longer proposed in my replies?
For instance, in a recent reply (not the one I'm the prouder of) the header appears like this, witho ot thum nor star below "1 hour ago")


TIA

Hi, 
I wonder what is I in MAPLE?
Obviously I is not an indeterminate

z := a+I*b:
indets(z);

# but

has(z, I)
                             {a, b}
                              true

What does this answer mean:

whattype(I);
                   complex(extended_numeric)

I would have thought that  I was some kind of protected symbol such as Pi, but it's not

attributes(Pi);
attributes(I);
                           protected

In fact, trying to assign 1 to I just returns an error saying this is not legal assignment

I:=1
Error, illegal use of an object as a name

So, what is I in Maple?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It seems that it's not possible to change the tickmarks on axis 2 of a sparsematrixplot.
Mire of this, trying to change them seems to suppress them...
Perhaps this was a problem in Maple 2015 which has since been corrected?
By any chance, would you have a trick to correct this?

TIA

Hi, 

Working with Legendre Polynomials (LegendreP) I observed that solve doesn't find the correct number of zeros.
More precisely, for N > 17, solve(LegendreP(N, x)) finds less zeros than N.

I wrote a procedure based on a theorem about the intertwined location of the zeros of orthogonal polynomial of successive degrees. So this problem is not blocking, but I would like to understand while solve(LegendreP(N, x)) doesn't always do the job.

Thanks in advance.
