Today I managed to get this error message:

"Error, (in RootOf) index should be a positive integer less than 1"

Oh Maple, I love it when you talk dirty.

NSFW tag, maybe?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

is there a division by zero tag?

fuck maple

MATLAB > Mathematica > Maple

Matlab numero uno

Matlab can lick my harry balls!

thing wants $texas$ to use it and I can't even install the POC on my computer.

Fuck that, I can type factor(exp,x) just as well as I can highlight x, right click and click "factor". At least that way I'll get a decent error message instead of the same machine dressed up with less functionality.

It's not the software that's a POC

but yea I see what you're saying about the "ease of use" thing. But once you go Matlab, you can't ever go back.

BTW if I want to do simple factor() w/ symbolic functions, Mathematica still >> Maple

See, the problems that I have are with the mathematics. I doubt switching to any of the other two would fix these blatant errors.

Maple, please die.


Description of quote: Define one function with n in it. Then make a procedure that substitutes n into an expression. Run procedure, n=5 is substituted. Then repeat with another function. No substitution is made.

I must not "get it"

'get it'

the quotes do not delay calculation and you will be stuck with an expression with unsolved for variables with no idea what's going on.

12/20/2007 12:58:36 AM

yea...if we were doing binomials

12/20/2007 1:20:22 AM

wat

12/20/2007 1:48:52 AM

you kids don't know how good you've got it with maple

I remeber when we only got one submission and no feedback

12/20/2007 4:07:18 AM

wat

12/20/2007 4:41:06 AM

^^ damn, they've had that shit for at least 5 years now.

you're too old. Just go kill yourself old man.

12/20/2007 8:43:53 AM

^^^You think you have it bad. Our assignments were punch-cards... and this dude was grading the homework.

i did maple back in june of 01. MA 141.

it was horrible. our TA didnt know much, of course we all cheated

12/20/2007 8:55:52 AM

Only one person ever has done the maple assignments. Then he just shared it with everyone else. It was passed down throughout the years.

That is the fucking truth

yall fruits get feedback on maple now?

what the hell?
