Maple isnt executing function but prints function term

Im using maple Im in worksheetmode I tried using Maple Input and 2D Input and I want to transpose my Matrix A:

 A := `<|>`(`<,>`(1, .5, -2), `<,>`(.5, 9/4+b, 5+3*b), `<,>`(-2, 5+3*b, 18+9*b+4*a));
       B:=   Transpose(A);

When I exectute the sheet I dont get the translated values, there are the same as the input. So my matrix looks like the same as my input matrix plus the function term.

You can see a picture in the following link: Why arent the functions executed?

Meanwhile B:=A^+ is doing it the right way and I get a transposed Matrix. But also other functions only return the function body instead the needed values...

Solution

  • If you are using 2D Input mode (the default) then the extra space you've got between Transpose and the bracketed (B) is interpreted as multiplcation. Get rid of such a space.

    Also, either load the package at the start of your document like,

    with(LinearAlgebra):

    before calling the Transpose command from that package, or call it with it's full name like,

    LinearAlgebra:-Transpose(B);
