Thanks for your answer, and your big contribution to this excellent software.

As I understand, the "component", this is the memo text editor, it's just only an utility for write the code.

For other side, the function Maple, even can take an string for parse it, don't accept intermediate variable nor functions definitions inside the string. For example, maple("a:=1: a+1:" ) gives an error.

So, maybe could be useful a function, like MapleString or something else, which takes a pure maple string and parse it in the same way that the component do that. Or in other words, a function that call the script procedure but with the text constructed in the SMath environment.

Another thing: Reading the post processing maple commands for handle the variable ans, I see that you don't use allvalues mpale's function. It could be useful for commands like maple(solve(x^4+x+1,x)).

Best regards.
Alvaro.

Smath/Maple is part of the MapleSoft not freeware !
There is this immense French web site about functions,
most if not all that have animation are from Maple.

Thanks. So if it is part of MapleSoft which is I believe commercial. How is it available for SMath for free?

I'm asking because I'm a commercial software developer, and I'm in need of a symbolic engine like this to do some of my research.

The wrapper itself is opensource (MIT license is assumed unless otherwise specified), and is essentially a translator between smath and maple languages.

About the maple assemblies the license status is unclear (as stated several times in this thread), thus I guess that you can use it for personal use only, unless you have a valid maple license.

hmmm, there seams to be some gray area here regarding the license.

Never the less. I very much prefer the Smath/Mathcad style instead of the command driven thing with mathematica and the rest.

Academic uses, more likely personal. And is unclear because it's very old, for me the question if it is enough old . There are not many perpetual things (the entropy, maybe?), and software copywriter is not the case. For me the question is whether it's old enough as to have lost the copyright. If did not lose them, it have to be very close to doing it. Just like the Mathcad notebook-like user interface.

Best regards.

I bought Mathcad 15 a few years back thinking that now all my math needs are going to be resolved. Only to find out latter that it was actually an academic license. Years latter, I started a very small software business and now I can't even touch Matchcad for that purpose

SMath was always helpful but always needed that symbolic engine.

I'm an Audio/Music dsp programmer. A symbolic engine will be very helpful designing filters, to find symbolic coefficients, simplify transfer functions, and deal with complex numbers/variables.

As for Mathcad 15, it still works. Just cant legally use it for commercial stuff.

I make synthesizers and audio effects, think, echo, reverb. Lowpass filter etc.
I hate to turn this into self promotion, but since you asked, it's here: http://www.solostuff.net/solorack/



Sorry for my ignorance, I just couldn't decipher what you just said. What wavelets? I assume these guys are the developers?

It does look powerful. I'm currently looking at SageMath too.
