Dr. Scot Gould is a professor of physics in the W.M. Keck Science Department of Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges - members of The Claremont Colleges in California. He was involved in the early development of the atomic force microscope. His research has included numerous studies and experiments using scanning probe microscopes, particularly those involving natural fibers such as spider silk. More recently, he was involved in developing and sustaining AISS. This full-year multi-unit, non-traditional, interdisciplinary undergraduate science education course integrated topics from biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. His current interest is integrating computational topics into the physics curriculum. He teaches the use of Maple's computer algebraic and numerical systems to assist students in modeling and visualizing physical and biological systems. His Dirac-notation-based quantum mechanics course is taught solely through Maple.

@mmcdara FYI: the first worksheet does not load as it is viewed a corrupt. 2nd works sheet loads fine. 

I am unable to download it. It shows a server error.

 

@goli Does the drawing capabilities of Maple suffice? Click on the plot and then on the drawing button above the window and drawing tools appear.  For me that is the fastest route.

Did you ever identify a solution that you liked? 

@Carl Love Since your goals are different than mine - I don't have an answer, but at least you now have a way to research the RSS feeder that you desire, i.e., one that pushes notifications. A quick search shows something called EasyRSS might work. Feedly appears not to have the ability to push notifications even if you purchase the pro version. Wish I could help.

@Carl Love I downloaded the document from the MapleCloud location where Ramakrishnan found it. None of the errors shown in his posting were found. Yes, the input code is hidden.   There are numerous errors found in coping the original code along with the major issue you point out of failing to separate text group content with execution group content.

 

 

Range is from a..a+r where r can have a value from 0 to R.  (Note - jpg shows explore)

@Carl Love I sense the current version Maple Player is even less popular MapleCloud. (Our colleges have no use for it since we have a site licence for Maple.) While I have never tried MP, it seems like it has minimal appeal. Maybe someone can explain the reason for  the experation date associated with it.  

At the conference, while I heard no discussion to bring MP  to Android/iOS, you still may be correct.   MP, along with some sort of cloud sysem, could end up integrated it into Maple Companion. MC is definitely an area of interest for Maplesoft. 

@Carl Love Thanks Carl. I think you are somewhat correct. Based on discussions at the Maple Conference in November, there is no doubt that the Maple Companion is a direction that they are moving toward. But this product really isn't there yet, IMO. (It can't read my handwriting, now matter how well I write. )And yes, there were folks who requested an Andriod / iOS version of Maple, even if it were a subset of the Mac/Linus/Windows version.

Sure, taking a photo is useful, but the ability to interact with the worksheet is crucial.  Hence why I wondered - are folks taking advantage of the potential of the MapleCloud, are they not aware of it, are they disinterested or do they find the limitations and unreliability of the software causing them to ignore it. 

Your experience with the Yahoo groups is akin to what I have planned to achieve with MapleCloud - but more than file sharing. 

And I bet Maplesoft monitors MapleCloud usage.  I'm curious where they think this will be going. 

@Carl Love English is my native tongue for which I am incapable of communicating via the keyboard. Sorry for the typo. 

@Carl Love Edited for clarification, I hope. For each parameter, the default controller for a parameter in the Explore is a slider, which I prefer. However, it can be changed to one of several other options such as volumegauge, dial, etc. The advantage of a textarea is that one can direclty enter the value. However, with the slider controller, even though the value of the parameter is shown to the right, one cannot modify it directly. The reason for having both options is that it isn't always easy to select exactly the right value for the parameter.  This feature of having two ways of modifying a parameter is common in other packages. Maybe you know a workaround. 

@Kitonum at the moment, that is. 

@Kitonum  This doesn't address the main question, but I was quite pleased to see that manually breaking the vector up into separate equations is no longer required. 
 

"restart;  x(t):=<x1(t), x2(t)>: A:=<1,-2; 4,-5>:  b:=<3,7>:  eq:=diff(x(t),t)=A*x(t)+b :  icseq:= x(0)=<x10, x20>;  dsolve({eq, icseq});"

Vector[column](%id = 18446746075614301590) = Vector[column](%id = 18446746075614301710)

 

{x1(t) = exp(-t)*(1-x20+2*x10)+exp(-3*t)*(-4/3+x20-x10)+1/3, x2(t) = exp(-t)*(1-x20+2*x10)+2*exp(-3*t)*(-4/3+x20-x10)+5/3}

@Carl Love Sure I can read and code using OOP, but that isn't my first inclination. Your comments are helpful.  (My overarching objective is to massage the Maple experience is to make it as intuitive as possible to the new user. I'll leave the tough work of implementation to the professionals.)
