I really like the assume() facility in maple (I find assume() in maple
much better than mma btw).
One problem though, when I get expressions which assumptions on the
variables, maple adds a tilda character "~" next to each variable to
remind one that the variable has assumptions on it. like this:
x~
This is nice. But it also makes the equations harder to read and
less clear with all these characters all over.
Is there a way to keep the assumptions but not see the tilda character
show up?
thanks,
Steve
Use interface(showassumed=0) to remove all reminders about assumptions.
Use interface(showassumed=2) to put the reminders in a fottnote at the end
of the expression. The default is interface(showassumed=1), which uses
the tildes.
Also note that you can use 'assuming' instead of 'assume' to make
assumptions that are in effect for one command only.

In Maple 9 Standard Worksheet: Tools -> Options -> I/O Display
Classic Worksheet and Maple 8: File -> Preferences -> I/O Display
Maple 7 and older: Options -> Assumed Variables
Non-interactively (programmatically): interface(showassumed=0);
