Hi all. Ok, so I'm a mathematics major, but I'm only so far as my first linear algebra course right now. I have not had any need to use Maple or Mathematica or Mathlab or a calculator for that matter. So, I'm curious WHEN I might have to start using these programs (what level math)...

I wrote the next code: restart; pde := diff(u(x, t), t)+diff(u(x, t), x)-(diff(diff(u(x, t), x), t))^2 = u(x, t); tmax := 0.5e-1; xmin := 0; xmax := 1; N := 10; bc1 := du(xmin, t) = 0; bc2 := u(xmax, t) = 0; ic1 := u(x, 0) = 1; ic2 := du(x, 0) = 2; bcs := {u(x, 0) =...

Has anyone tried or heard of Maple 18 Personal Edition? I'm looking for individual software programs that I can use.

This is technically a "homework" type question so I just need a bit of help. I'm just learning maple and writing a very basic procedure. I'm testing primality exhaustively by using the mod function. (Yes, maple has a built in procedure for this, but this is just an exercise). ISPRIME...

I want Enter to produce a line break, and shift+Enter to evaluate. Swapping the default commands. Is it this possible? Programming in maple is a pain if I have to press shift+enter every time.

This is EXTREMELY basic. I am using maple to run a Pohlig Hellman algorithm to solve discrete logs. If I use ifactor to get a result, i.e. > ifactor(p-1); (2)3 (5) How do I assign the...

Hi all! I have tried to calculate a1 using Maple as shown here: http://screencast.com/t/iV1XwJ1CXiqU The problem is when I do this exact same calculation by hand with the exact same values I always end up with 59.99 but Maple gets 65.03? How can there be such a big difference? Thanks!

Are they both same? I have been using maple from past couple of months in order to find solutions & to plot graphs etc & I am quite comfortable with it. If Matlab is better than maple then is it hard to use MATLAB & is the syntax of MATLAB same as maple?

Hello guys, I am new to maple software and I am stuck on solving a simple transcendental equation: sin(x)=x/2 over the range x=-3,...,3. I know how to solve this equation for individual intervals, for example: > fsolve(sin(x) = (1/2)*x, x = -3 .. -1); >...

Hi, I'm working on an assignment which requires me to superimpose the graphs of 10 different discontinuous functions on the same graph. Can someone please explain step-by-step how to do so in MAPLE? By the way, I have absolutely no experience in any computer programming in any form and I've...

So I'm trying to figure out how to find that partial sum of a given summation of a series on maple 13. Iv tried looking all over the internet for answers to my problem, but no site seems to answer my problem. I am trying to find the sum of a series. When i plug in 1/x^2 and evaluate I get the...

Hi, I would like to know if there is a command in Matlab or Mathematica or Maple, which shows the area of a closed curve. For example, find the area enclosed by a circle, x^2+y^2=1. I wish I could use a command like "SOME_AREA_COMMAND[x^2+y^2=1]" and it can give me the answer Pi. I know I...

Hi Everybody, So basically I spent the summer working on some optics related stuff and now they want me to present my research work. This means I'm going to have to do numerical simulations for diffraction of Laguerre-Gaussian beam modes. In a word, the integrals are ridiculously long and...

any how, i have this equation. I have read a quick online tutorial on maple. this is my equation in raw form Br*(arctan(W*L/(2*x*(4*x^2+W^2+L^2)^(1/2)))-arctan(W*L/((2*(x+2*T))*[4*(x+2*T)^2+W^2+L^2]^(1/2))))/Pi because i have 5 varibales, i did B1(Br,W,L,T,x):= [the above function] Now, i...

I need help with the Maple maths software, which I don't know very well. I need to numerically solve a system of three second order differential equations, specifically with Maple. I have to write a code which numerically solves the Newton's equation, using some initial conditions, and then...

I need to know the command to how to plot a piecewise function graph, All the ones I have found successfully plot but they "ranges" to go with the domain value. The Two I have to graph don't have ranges or just have x(not equal to)= 0 or x=0 (Graphs are) attached thanks

Hi I have a Genius tablet. Is there a software which provides a space where I can write math stuff on the tablet and it automatically converts the written (or, more correctly drawn on the tablet) into digital form? I don't need a software to recognize handwritten material such as Abby...

Hi, Does anyone know how mathematica and maple solve cubics? Do they do it numerically?

I have to plot the function f(x) in maple, for -4 < x < 4. I have got: a:= 0.58 b:=0.61 c:=0.35 f(x) := e^(-a)(x^2) - (b)(x)*ln((x^2) + 1) ....2 + (x^2) + (c)*sin(x(Pi)) Maple interprets this correctly, but when i go to plot it, it comes up with 'Warning, unable to evaluate the...
