Hi,

I am using Maple 13, 16 and 17 on 64 bit ubuntu 14.04LTS without 

any problems.

I tried to start the above Maple versions after upgrading to ubuntu 18.04LTS. Unfortunately, Maple does not start and transmits an incorrect hostid error message. The error message for Maple 16 is pasted below.

The command ifconfig -a produces an ethernet address 00:21:70:a6:a4:4b that is identical to the hostid given in the license.dat file.

I believe that the license manager flexnet is 32 bit. I used the synaptic 

manager to install lsb-base and ia32-libs (synaptic package manager refused to install lsb-core and transmitted some error messages). However, this did not help and I obtained the same hostid error message.

I do not know what is causing the hostid error message. Maybe some script file/s in the Maple installation can be modified such that Maple starts correctly?

Any assistance in getting Maple 13, 16, 17 to start on ubuntu 18.04LTS 

would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much for your support.
CF

Good afternoon. How do I disable the numbering of _Z constants? Because
of this, you can't use the procedure in a loop
Is it possible to disable numbering or do something else?

This does not work with Maple 13. Can I still do something like this just using the linear operator D?

g:=x->x^(1/3);

f:=x->convert(g(x),surd);

D(f)(x)???

I need the derivative D(f)!!

Thank you!!!

How do you print [0,infinity) in Maple 13 like
?

RealRange does not seem to work.

Thank you!

Hi all,

Look at my pretty plot.  It is defined by

x=sin(m*t);
y=sin(n*t);

where n and m are one digit positive integers.

You can modify my worksheet with different values of n and m.

The name of the curve may be something like Curve of Lesotho.  I saw this first in one of my father's books.

How do we replace D^i by diff(y(x),x$i) in did:=D^14+23*D^13+144*D^12
in Maple 13?

Thank you!

mapleatha

I have the expression:

This works (Ans. 144):

coeff(144*D^10,D,op(2,op(2,144*D^10)));

This works (Ans. 144):

coeff(op(3,did),D,op(2,op(2,op(3,did))));

Why doesn't this work?

eval(coeff(op(i,did),D,op(2,op(2,op(i,did)))),i=3);

Why doesn't this work?

subs(i=3,coeff(op(i,did),D,op(2,op(2,op(i,did)))));

I need those "generic" substituions for certain loops that I am making.

Thank you!

I would like to have Maple give me sin(2nPi) = 0 assuming that n is a positive integer. Is there a way to do it?

Thank you.
mapleatha.

I have this two expresions

e1 := (1/2)*P[psi]^2/(cos(`&vartheta;`)^2*Ix)

e2 := (1/2)*P[psi]^2/(cos(`&vartheta;`)^2*Ix)

simplify(e1-e2)=-(1/2)*(-P[psi]^2+P[psi]^2)/(cos(`&vartheta;`)^2*Ix)

but 

simplify(-P[psi]^2+P[psi]^2)

is zero 

why i dont obtain zero if i use simplify(e1-e2) ??

Hello Maple community and others,

It has been proven that every positive
rational number can be represented in 
Egyptian Fraction form

See wikipedia on Egyptian Fractions

We have the fact that the harmonic series diverges
Let Hn = 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n.

Then the limit as n goes to infinity of Hn is unbounded.

It seems these two facts go hand in hand.

Is there a procedure in Maple that will give
Egyptian Fraction representation of an arbitrary
rational number?

I made a worksheet with some examples.

Hello again,   I'm trying to write a procedure to multiply quaternions.   We know that they can be represented as a vector of length 4.   See Wikipedia.   My try  -

qaa=[8,4,6,2] and qab =[2,,4,6,8]
mult:=proc(a,b)

end proc;

maybe needs some looping or data from a table.  

Regards,

Matt

Hi all,

We want to find a curve fit for an integer sequence.

We have n such that n^2+n+17 is a prime number.

See oeis.org/A007635 and comments.

Use the Maple CurveFitting package.

I tried with(CurveFitting).

We do not know if this is best represented by a polynomial or exponential curve fit.

The low-level command is "RTABLE". I have used it a million times. I use it with Maple 13 to replace expressions by tables.
For example,

print(`Hello! `*RTABLE(1,x^2+y^2));

will print: Hello! x^2+y^2. However, the main reason I am using it is to avoid Maple messing up the order of things like sums,
products, etc. However, this command has disappeared. It does not exist in Maple 2020. So, I cannot run my programs at the university which now has Maple 2020. Anybody knows if this command can still be used in another form the same way?

Thank you!

Since I am a mathematician, I am wondering how Maple goes about solving an identity for 3 functions.
Let's say we have af1(t)+bf_2(t)+cf_3(t) = 0 for all t. How does maple actually find a triplet a,b,c that works for all real t?
It does with solve(identity( ),[a,b,c]). But what is the theory behind it?
We know, of course, a priori, that such a triplet exists.

Thank you!
