MATLAB Matlab, maple notation problem

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues typing the '^' symbol in MATLAB R13 and Maple 9.5 on a Linux Debian system. While Maple allows the use of '**' as an alternative, MATLAB does not have a straightforward solution. One user found that prefixing the '^' with a backslash ('\^') resolved the issue in MATLAB, indicating a potential conflict with TeX formatting. Another user noted that typing two '^' symbols produces one, suggesting a workaround. The discussion hints at a possible Java-related problem, with one user mentioning they do not face this issue while using MATLAB R14 with the Blackdown Java VM instead of Sun's. The conversation emphasizes the need for software upgrades to potentially resolve these compatibility issues.

hello

i have a very special probelm
with MATLAB R13 and maple9.5 on a linux debian box

i could not type the '^' symbol within those progs (just in there),
which is of course very nasty -- in maple '**' does the same as the hat symbol but what todo in MATLAB ?

does anybody had the same problem and knows a solution for it ?

thx in advance

PS: please apologize my rude english (non-native)

Try this: '\^'

I got a warning telling me that ^ was the character used for tex, so I just added the backslash and it worked fine.
 
I don't have that problem in Maple but in Matlab, typing a single '^' does not work either. However typeing two produces one. Have you tried that?
 
seems to be a java problem

Yeah, I'm using R14 on linux, but I'm also using the blackdown java vm, not sun's. Maybe that's why I don't have this issue.
