Some Skills for Math 272 in Maple You should start with the New Users Tour. Run through the first six sections of the tour. At any time, you can also get help from the help menu.

It is wise to restart. restart: These packages contain some extra routines that may be useful for the sections below. with(linalg): with(plottools): with(plots):

It is easy to plot a function of 2 variables. The following plots f(x,y) = x^2 - y^2 over the region [-2..2]x[-2..2]. plot3d(x^2 - y^2,x=-2..2,y=-2..2); You can add options to make the picture easier to view. In the following a box around the graph has been added and the plot is a wireframe plot rather than a patch plot. Use the help for plot3d[option] to experiment with other possibilities. plot3d(x^2 - y^2,x=-2..2,y=-2..2,axes=boxed, style=wireframe);

Plotting arbitrary surfaces is harder. There is a routine in the plots package called implicitplot3d that can be used to plot surfaces. It must be loaded before one can use it. with(plots,implicitplot3d); This is how one can plot a quadric surface. implicitplot3d(x^2/2 + y^2 - z^2 =0,x=-6..6,y=-6..6, z=-6..6,style=patch,axes=normal);

To plot in cylindrical coordinates where z is a function of r and theta one can use plot3d for a parametric surface. Specifying the cylindrical coordinate system is done as an option. For example, to plot z = r^2 one could use the following. plot3d([r,theta,r^2],r=0..2,theta=0..2*Pi, coords=cylindrical,axes=normal,style=patch, scaling=constrained); In Maple r is assume to be a function of z and theta when using cylindrical coordinates . Notice the order of theta and z.

Try changing the order of theta and z to see what happens. plot3d(z,theta=0..2*Pi,z=-2..2, coords=cylindrical,axes=normal,style=patch);

One can also plot in spherical coordinates. Here rho is a function of theta and phi. Again the order of the ranges is important. For more information see plot3d,coords. plot3d(sin(phi),theta=0..2*Pi,phi=0..Pi, axes=boxed,style=patch,coords=spherical);

In order to use some of the linear algebra routines one must load them from the linalg package. It is often easier to load the whole package. with(linalg):

One defines a vector using the vector command. The input for this command is a one dimensional array. For example, to input the vectors (1,-1,0) and (2,-3,2) one uses the following commands. a := vector([1,-1,0]); b := vector([2,-3,2]); The way to specify indices for components is with square brackets. For example, the second component of b is obtained by the following. b[2];

The matadd command loaded in the linalg package can be used to add vectors. matadd(a,b); One can do this in several other ways. Here are two. Note the use of the evalm command to evaluate a matrix operation. evalm(a+b); evalm(a &+ b); One can find the magnitude of a vector using the norm command. Since there are other length definitions, you must tell Maple which norm to use. That is why there is the 2 in the following command. norm(a,2);

There are commands for the cross and dot products. The commands are crossprod and innerprod. Here are the dot and cross products for the vectors a and b. innerprod(a,b); crossprod(a,b); crossprod(b,a);

First one needs a function. This is a definition as a function of a vector. f := x -> exp(-abs(x[1]^3-x[1])- x[2]^2); Here is a plot of the function. It has an interesting shape. plot3d(f([x,y]),x=-2..2,y=-2..2, axes=boxed,style=patch);

There are several ways to get contours. The plots package has two specialized routines, contourplot and contourplot3d. One can also use an option in the plot3d function to get contours. This is an example of the contourplot routine. Note that it gives a two dimensional plot. contourplot(f([x,y]),x=-2..2,y=-2..2); This is an example of the contourplot3d. It gives a 3 dimensional plot. contourplot3d(f([x,y]),x=-2..2,y=-2..2, axes=boxed); Finally is the plot3d command. One only needs to use one of the options style=patchcontour or style=contour to get a contour plot. plot3d(f([x,y]),x=-2..2,y=-2..2, style=patchcontour,axes=boxed);

Maple has plotting routines that allow one to plot vector fields. These work in two and three dimensions For two dimensional vector fields one uses fieldplot.

Maple will try to take limits of multivariate functions. Unfortunately, the routine is not very robust. Here are several examples and limits from the text. If Maple does not get an answer, it echos the input. f := x^2 + y^2; limit(f,{x=1,y=-2}); Example 3.2.3 f := x^4/(x^2+y^2); limit(f,{x=0,y=0}); Example 3.2.5 f := (x^2-y^2)/(x^2+y^2); limit(f,{x=0,y=0}); Example 3.2.6 f := (x+y)^2/(x-y); limit(f,{x=1,y=1}); limit(f,{x=0,y=0}); Example 3.2.7 f := x^2*y/(x^4+y^2); limit(f,{x=0,y=0});

If one only wants to get the partial derivative of an expression in Maple one uses the diff command as in the following. expr := x^2*y^2 - sin(2*x-3*y+z); diff(expr,x); diff(expr,x,x); diff(expr,x,y,z);

Here is the limit for the function from above. limit((f([x+1,y+1])-f([1,1])- dotprod([x,y],[slope_x,slope_y]))/ norm([x,y],2),{x=0,y=0}); The limit is actually zero. (Check this!)

This is a procedure to calculate the gradient of a function as a function. It takes two parameters; the function and the dimension of the input vector. fgrad := proc(f,n) local i,x; unapply([seq(eval( diff(f(x),x[i])),i=1..n)],x); end; With this one can easily calculate the the gradient. f := x -> x[1]^2 -4*x[2]^2; gradf := fgrad(f,2); g:= x -> x[1]*cos(x[2])+x[2]*cos(x[1]*x[3]); gradg := fgrad(g,3); Combining the fgrad function with the innerprod function one can calculate directional deivatives. Here is how one could calculate the derivative of g from above in the same direction as [1,-2,1] as a function of the point x. One can easily calculate this at the point (0,1,-1). Du_g := unapply(innerprod(gradg(x),[1,-2,1])/ norm([1,-2,1],2),x); Du_g([0,1,-1]);

With the following routines one can calculate the divergence and curl of a vector field. The fdiv procedure takes in the vector field function and the dimension of the input. The fcurl only takes in the vector field since the dimension is always assumed to be 3. fdiv:= proc(f,n::integer) local i, x; unapply(add(diff(f(x)[i], x[i]), i = 1 .. n), x); end: fcurl := proc(f) local x; unapply(eval([diff(f(x)[3],x[2])-diff(f(x)[2],x[3]), diff(f(x)[1],x[3])-diff(f(x)[3],x[1]), diff(f(x)[2],x[1])-diff(f(x)[1],x[2])]) ,x): end: The following is a vector field, its divergence, and its curl. f := x -> [x[2]*x[1],x[1]^2,x[3]]; divf := fdiv(f,3); curlf := fcurl(f); Here is a plot of the vector field f and the curl at the point (2,2,2). pt := [2,2,2]: fie := fieldplot3d(f([x,y,z]),x=0..4,y=0..4, z=0..4,axes=boxed,color=black,grid=[5,5,5]): cf := arrow(pt,.5*curlf(pt), [1,0,0],.02, .08, .1,color=red): display(fie,cf);

The diff command only takes partial derivatives. Note how the unapply command turns the derivative into a function. Df := unapply(diff(f(t),t),t); Df(2);

Now we can plot f(t) and f'(t) using spacecurve. The options for spacecurve are almost the same as for plot3d. spacecurve(f(t),t=-2..2,axes=boxed,color=red); Now we plot f'(t). spacecurve(Df(t),t=-2..2,axes=boxed,color=blue);

There are two different ways to enter a matrix. One can use the palettes or use the matrix command. There are different ways to use the matrix command.

When using the matrix command one can either put in the matrix as a list of lists or one can give the size of the matrix and a list of the elements going across the rows first. B := matrix([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]); C := matrix(2,3,[7,8,9,10,11,12]);

In order to use the matrix palette one should change the input display style. Go into the options, input display menu. Select the standard math option. Place the curser at the end of this paragraph. Now go to the insert, execution group menu and select the after curser option. Now go to the view, palettes menu and select the matrix palette option. Put the curser at the prompt and setect the 2 by 3 matrix. Fill in the entries from B above.
