Hi all

Please, I'd like to clarify some basic points about performing computations in Maple 18. Up to now I have been doing some numeric calcs using matrices normally composed of 10 to 15 columns and 200 to 600 rows.

When doing the calcs with a matrix of ~200 rows, it is just ok but as the number of rows increase the calculation speed reduces significantly.

The data contained in each row is calculated within a loop cycle (i.e.: for i from 1 to 200 do ......).

The number of rows is controlled by a slider so when I drag the slider the calcs are automatically updated and the results shown graphically.

As I said it is too slow so I don't know if I should be looking into the option of doing calcs symbolically first? However you can't use symbolic notation when working with matrices. I still got a lot of calcs to do but prefer not to continue as it will only get slower so better to see if I can optimise speed.

Any comment is trully appreciated.

Regards

Hi I have been trying to get the inperpolation of some values within a procedure without much success. Maybe someone in mapleprimes might know this already.

Basically what I am trying to do is to generate a matrix of values. The values of the columns 1 to 3 are just some values, but then I want column 4 to be the result of the interpolation of some values.

I got different errors such as: 

Error, (in CurveFitting:-ArrayInterpolation) data must consist of real, floating point values

Anyway the procedure is shown below:

InterProc := proc ()

local i; global A, global variable1, global variable2;

A := Matrix(1 .. 4);

variable1 := [0, 100];

variable2 := [12, 20];

with(CurveFitting);

for i from 1 to 10 do

 A(i, 1) := 3+i;

 A(i, 2) := 2*i+A(i, 1);

 A(i, 3) := A(i, 2)-1;

 A(i, 4) := ArrayInterpolation(variable1, variable2, A(i, 1));

end do;

end proc;

InterProc();

Hi

I have been trying to find a way to present results from engineering calcs to 2 decimal places (i.e.: 350.50) but the round function rounds to the nearest integer. Is there a specific statement for specifying the number of decimal places you want to present some results?

thanks

Please

can someone tell me how to plot values directly from an array? I'd have thought that this was a simple task but unfortunately I havent seen any useful examples in the Maple Help.

Let's say any array such as A:=Array(1..4,1..4); with random numbers.

I want to plot column 1 vs 3, how do I do it?

thanks

Hi everyone

I'd be pleased if you could give a hand with the exploration assistant.

1. I want the exploration assistant to appear on the same document I am working on, but everytime I use it (either by right-clicking or by the explore command) it automatically appears on a new document.

2. can I manipulate a piecewise function when using embedded components? i.e.: plot the function and varying the parameters using sliders.

thanks
