  I believe this is a known issue with Maple and its auto-simplification. Maple's response is TRUE because it automatically simplifies the response to 1. 

  I don't recall a workaround for this at the moment, so I'd suggest checking with the Maple support team.

  Maple has a latex function that can generate latex from a maple expression. This feature can be very useful in Maple T.A..

  To generate latex from your expression you can use the following code in your algorithm section.

  $expr=maple("printf(latex(sin(x)/x^2, output = string))");

  This results in

  
  

  To use the latex in your question text you need to wrap it in the latex delimiters.

  What is the differential of \( $expr \) ?

  The result will be

  I have been looking in the Maple Cloud for questions in linear algebra and differential equations. I have found some, but I wonder if my search has missed some in cases where authors have not filled in enough details that would make their problems easier to find. If anyone knows of some Schools where I might find some question banks on these subjects, I would be grateful if you could point them out. 

  Also, if you are an author of linear algebra or differential equations questions, please consider publishing them to the Maple Cloud and adding a few details that would make them more likely to be picked up in a search through the content repository. Thank you!

  Very simple procedure, but useful fo' outputtin' all them variables to TA in a format where it won't kill all numbers. Sure I'm not the first to do this but thought I'd share for anyone who hadn;t thought to.

  (No more will you have to write : [convert(a,string), convert(b,string), convert(c,string)...etc.] )

  str := proc(x)
      local i,rtn := []:
      if type(x,list) then
          for i to numelems(x) do rtn:=[op(rtn),str(x[i])] od:
      else rtn:=convert(x,string): fi:
      return rtn:
  end proc:simply add at end of your final line of maple call: $m=maple(" str := proc(x)
      local i,rtn := []:
      if type(x,list) then
          for i to numelems(x) do rtn:=[op(rtn),str(x[i])] od:
      else rtn:=convert(x,string): fi:
      return rtn:
  end proc: ... ... str([a,b,c...etc.]) ");

  Hi everyone in the Maple T.A. and Möbius Community. I want to kick off the inspiration section of the community with a great opportunity to learn from experts and other innovators in the Online Education space. With this in mind I am very pleased to announce that I’ll be presenting at the Maple T.A. and Möbius User Summit in London this September. It’ll be a great opportunity to get the community together – and a chance to meet directly with Maplesoft product teams and management.

   
  Themes will include:
  ·        The Successful Delivery of Online Education
  ·        Best Practices for Digital Testing and Assessment
  ·        Creating Engaging and Interactive Online STEM Content
   
  Full details are here: www.maplesoft.com/londonsummit
   
  If you’re interested in attending let me know – I can provide community members with a discount for 35% off the registration fee.
   
  There’s an Early Bird offer running till 30th June too, so if you book fast, you can benefit from both discounts.
