Treat expressions as numbers in Maple










0















I write some code of procedure that contains next 2 lines.
Why line 2 isn't executed? How to force Maple treat all math expressions as numbers?



b := evalf(sqrt(5)); 
k := evalf(ceil(Log2(ceil(sqrt(b)))));

b := 2.236067977
k := ceil(Log2(2))


Issue

  • Querying Maple's Help system reveals immediately that there is no Log2 command. Doing a search in the Help system should precede asking a question here.

It turned out that Maple contains log2 function in MTM package. To use logarithm with base b you should call log[b](x) function.
