+ | === Duke Container === | ||
+ | '''''This will be the most common path for Duke students as it is free and includes the least overhead.''''' These instructions were updated in September of 2024. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Duke has a suite of Containers for Virtual Software, and among them is a container for Maple. The container is a Linux-based web-accessible application that includes a file system, web browser, and Maple. The positives are that it is free for Duke students and very easy to access and use; the negative is that the file system doesn't really connect to any other file system at Duke. Fortunately, the presence of a browser ameliorates that issue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get access to the Virtual Computing Manager, go to [https://vcm.duke.edu/ VCM] and log in with your Duke credentials. | ||
+ | * To access the Maple container, go to the "Reserve a Container" link below the "Virtual Software" section of the landing page. | ||
+ | * Once there, if you have previously reserved a Maple container, it will show up on the left; if you haven't reserved a Maple container before, scroll to the Maple container in the "Reservations available" section. | ||
+ | * Once reserved, you can go to the VCM site and it will already be there. Click on the '''Maple''' link under '''CONTAINERS''' in '''My reservations''' | ||
+ | * You will need to '''Login''' to the container using the blue button in the '''CONTAINER CONTROLS''' section, at which point you will see a Linux session in a web page. It may say "No session for pid ##" - click OK there. You should now see icons for Firefox web Browser and Maple 2023. | ||

+ | ** If it tells you "Invalid or missing license file" - that may mean that you were the first person to try to use Maple that day - congratulations! To make things work: | ||
+ | *** Click '''Exit Maple''' | ||
+ | *** Close the browser with the container in it | ||
+ | *** Go back to the [https://vcm.duke.edu/ VCM] page, then the '''Reserve a Container''' page, then click the Maple container link | ||
+ | *** Click the '''Login''' button and then '''OK''' when "No session for pid ##" comes up | ||
+ | *** Double-click the Maple icon | ||
+ | *** Feel more confident after going through this process that computers are not quite ready to take over the world... | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Files ==== | ||
+ | The files that you create in the Container will live in the Container's file system - this is separate from your computer or Box or any other storage and there's no great way to connect things. If you need to move files back and forth from outside the VCM, I highly recommend using a Box drive. In the VCM, you can open Firefox and go to box.duke.edu to access and download files in your Box folder. You can also upload items from your VCM drive to Box for access outside of the container. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The files will stay on the container for as long as the reservation lasts (the semester) but you will definitely want to back them up on Box. The files will be in a folder called <code>/home/ubuntu/</code>. When you save Maple files, you will have the option of creating a new folder - there is an icon near the top right of the "Save" or "Save As" window that looks like a file folder - you can use that to create a folder to organize your materials. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We may explore using the Maple Cloud for file storage - but that will come up in a later lab. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Installed on Your Computer === | ||
+ | You can install Maple on your own computer; as mentioned above, this is free for faculty and staff and $35 for students. The advantage is that it will run on your computer and you will not need to be connected to the internet or worry about bandwidth issues. The disadvantage for students is that it costs $35. If you install Maple on your own computer, you can save your files wherever you like on your own computer (generally a Box Drive or something connected to Box Sync). | ||

+ | === Using a Virtual Machine === | ||
+ | Duke has created a suite of virtual machines, accessible via the [https://vcm.duke.edu/ Virtual Computing Manager] site. New VMs can be made at their [https://vcm.duke.edu/reservations/new/vm New Virtual Machine Reservation] site. One of these is the "EGR 103 / ECE 110 / EGR 224 / ECE 382 / ME 344 Windows 10 + Math apps for Gustafson EGR / ECE classes" machine. You can create a virtual machine and access it from your own computer; it will be like running on a Windows machine in a window! Among other things, Maple (and several other programs) is already installed, as is Box Drive. Note that when you first make a machine, the status will show up as "Provisioning." You can not turn the power on until you get an email from the VCM manager that says "Your requested VM has been successfully reserved." At that point, go to the VCM page, turn the power on, and click Remote Desktop. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note if you create a virtual machine that, when you are finished with it, you should shut it down (Windows menu, Power, Shut Down) - when the VM has shut down, the remote desktop will close. Also, the power will be turned off daily at 6am. You will need to power it back on at the VCM site by selecting your virtual machine and then clicking "Power on" in the VM Management Tools. Once that is done, you can click the "Remote Desktop" link in the "General Information" section. | ||

Using Maple
There are several different options when it comes to using Maple. The items below will cover these as well as where your files will live in each case.
Duke Container
This will be the most common path for Duke students as it is free and includes the least overhead. These instructions were updated in September of 2024.
Duke has a suite of Containers for Virtual Software, and among them is a container for Maple. The container is a Linux-based web-accessible application that includes a file system, web browser, and Maple. The positives are that it is free for Duke students and very easy to access and use; the negative is that the file system doesn't really connect to any other file system at Duke. Fortunately, the presence of a browser ameliorates that issue.
To get access to the Virtual Computing Manager, go to VCM and log in with your Duke credentials.
- To access the Maple container, go to the "Reserve a Container" link below the "Virtual Software" section of the landing page.
- Once there, if you have previously reserved a Maple container, it will show up on the left; if you haven't reserved a Maple container before, scroll to the Maple container in the "Reservations available" section.
- Once reserved, you can go to the VCM site and it will already be there. Click on the Maple link under CONTAINERS in My reservations
- You will need to Login to the container using the blue button in the CONTAINER CONTROLS section, at which point you will see a Linux session in a web page. It may say "No session for pid ##" - click OK there. You should now see icons for Firefox web Browser and Maple 2023.

- Click the Login button and then OK when "No session for pid ##" comes up
- Double-click the Maple icon
- Feel more confident after going through this process that computers are not quite ready to take over the world...
Files
The files that you create in the Container will live in the Container's file system - this is separate from your computer or Box or any other storage and there's no great way to connect things. If you need to move files back and forth from outside the VCM, I highly recommend using a Box drive. In the VCM, you can open Firefox and go to box.duke.edu to access and download files in your Box folder. You can also upload items from your VCM drive to Box for access outside of the container.
The files will stay on the container for as long as the reservation lasts (the semester) but you will definitely want to back them up on Box. The files will be in a folder called /home/ubuntu/
. When you save Maple files, you will have the option of creating a new folder - there is an icon near the top right of the "Save" or "Save As" window that looks like a file folder - you can use that to create a folder to organize your materials.
We may explore using the Maple Cloud for file storage - but that will come up in a later lab.
Installed on Your Computer
You can install Maple on your own computer; as mentioned above, this is free for faculty and staff and $35 for students. The advantage is that it will run on your computer and you will not need to be connected to the internet or worry about bandwidth issues. The disadvantage for students is that it costs $35. If you install Maple on your own computer, you can save your files wherever you like on your own computer (generally a Box Drive or something connected to Box Sync).
Installed on the Duke Linux System
Update 9/2024: The Linux version is working again and is now v.2023!
Maple is installed on the Duke linux system (currently 2023). To start the graphical version of Maple from the Duke Linux stations, log in using a terminal program with X11-forwarding enabled. See the How To Get Work Done page and specifically the "Connecting to Duke's Linux Machines" section relevant to your computer. Once logged in, change directories to the location on your CIFS drive where you want to save files. Next, type
xmaple &
or
xmaple &
where the "x" in front indicates the graphical version of Maple. If this does not work, try typing xmaple
followed by hitting that TAB key -- UNIX will try to auto-complete the correct command for you.
The Duke linux system will not allow you to mount other storage options, so you will have to use the CIFS system. You can mount your CIFS folder on your own computer, however. See:
Using a Virtual Machine
Duke has created a suite of virtual machines, accessible via the Virtual Computing Manager site. New VMs can be made at their New Virtual Machine Reservation site. One of these is the "EGR 103 / ECE 110 / EGR 224 / ECE 382 / ME 344 Windows 10 + Math apps for Gustafson EGR / ECE classes" machine. You can create a virtual machine and access it from your own computer; it will be like running on a Windows machine in a window! Among other things, Maple (and several other programs) is already installed, as is Box Drive. Note that when you first make a machine, the status will show up as "Provisioning." You can not turn the power on until you get an email from the VCM manager that says "Your requested VM has been successfully reserved." At that point, go to the VCM page, turn the power on, and click Remote Desktop.
Note if you create a virtual machine that, when you are finished with it, you should shut it down (Windows menu, Power, Shut Down) - when the VM has shut down, the remote desktop will close. Also, the power will be turned off daily at 6am. You will need to power it back on at the VCM site by selecting your virtual machine and then clicking "Power on" in the VM Management Tools. Once that is done, you can click the "Remote Desktop" link in the "General Information" section.
Introduction
Maple is a symbolic math package produced by Waterloo. It is available for free on the UNIX systems. Maple is available to faculty and staff for free; a student license costs $35.
Maple Modes
There are two different ways Maple creates documents - worksheet mode and document mode. The information and screenshots below are presented assuming worksheet mode.
Duke CCP Tutorials
The Math Department at Duke has provided several tutorials on the fundamentals of Maple (in addition to many other tutorials on using Maple for specific purposes). They are a part of the Connected Curriculum Project (CCP) and are linked below. Please note the Copyright Information provided with respect to documents in the Connected Curriculum Project.

Additional Information
Below are some more example of specific tasks that may be done in Maple.
Symbolic Derivatives
There are at least three ways to take a symbolic derivative in Maple:
- Using the diff command
- Using the D operator
- Using the "prime" operator
Handy Functions
Parallel Impedances (PAR)
If you need to calculate an equivalent impedance involving parallel constructions, you may want to define a function to simplify those parallel parts:
PAR := (Za, Zb) -> simplify(Za*Zb/(Za+Zb))
Simplifying Fractions of Polynomials (SCS)
If you end up making calculations that involve fractions of polynomials, it can be useful to simplify the expression, collect the variable of interest, and then sort the results. For example, with Laplace transforms, s
is the variable of interest so:
SCS := (X, var) -> sort(collect(numer(simplify(X)), var), var)/sort(collect(denom(simplify(X)), var), var)
can be called with s
as the second argument.
Example using PAR and SCS
PAR := (Za, Zb) -> simplify(Za*Zb/(Za+Zb))
\( PAR := (Za, Zb) \rightarrow {\it simplify}\left(\frac{Za~Zb}{Za+Zb}\right) \)
SCS := (X, var) -> sort(collect(numer(simplify(X)), var), var)/sort(collect(denom(simplify(X)), var), var)
\( SCS := (X, var) \rightarrow {\it sort(collect(numer(simplify(X)), var), var)/sort(collect(denom(simplify(X)), var), var)}\,\! \)
H:=PAR(1/s/C, R1+PAR(s*L, R2))
\( H:={\frac {{\it R1}\,sL+{\it R1}\,{\it R2}+s\,L\,{\it R2}}{s\,L+{\it R2}+{\it R1}\,{s}^{2}\,C\,L+{\it R1}\,s\,C\,{\it R2}+{s}^{2}\,L{\it R2}\,C}}\,\! \)
SCS(H, s)
\( {\frac { \left( {\it R1}\,L+L\,{\it R2} \right) s+{\it R1}\,{\it R2}}{ \left( {\it R1}\,CL+L\,{\it R2}\,C \right) {s}^{2}+ \left( L+{\it R1}\, C\,{\it R2} \right) s+{\it R2}}} \,\! \)
Laplace Transforms
For handy functions with Laplace and Inverse Laplace Transforms, see the Maple/Laplace Transforms page
Clarifications / Troubleshooting
License Error with Container-Based Maple
If you get an error about a missing license file when using the container-based Maple, it may be that you are the first person to use Maple that day and the license server wasn't fully awake. In that case:
- Close the container
- Open the container
- Start Maple
Exporting from Container-Based Maple
To export the PDF, in Maple, just go to File -> Export As... and then in the "Files of type" selector choose "PDF" and save the file. It will live on the container's file system
There are a few ways to get the code to your own computer:
- Use git. If you know how to use git, use git. If you don't, I am not quite up to the task of teaching git...
- Open the Firefox browser, go to box.duke.edu, and upload the file to some place in your Box folder. If you have Box Drive installed on your computer, it should automatically sync up. NOTE - if you change the file on your own computer, that will not change the version on the container; you would need to go back to the container, open Firefox, go to Box, and re-download the file. Unfortunately there is no Box Drive for Linux and the containers are Linux-based.
- Open the Firefox browser, open a mail client, and mail it as an attachment; open a mail client on your computer and download the attachment. This is decidedly the clunkiest.
