Symbol for derivative in MAPLE

Question

I am trying to use MAPLE to do some computations involving system of equations which terms are derivatives of functions.

When I type diff(alpha(x),x) it shows $\frac{d}{dx}\alpha(x)$. Is it possible to change this notation to obtain something like this: $\alpha'(x)$?

Answer 1

To change to $\alpha'(x)$, go to Preferences, Display and change Typesetting level to Extended (it should be Maple Standard by default). I have a Mac version, I believe it should be similar for PC. Another approach would be to type interface(typesetting = extended). Use interface(typesetting = standard) to go back to Leibniz notation. Typing

with(Typesetting): RuleAssistant()

should launch Typesetting Rule Assistant, which allows you to specify when to use prime notation and when to use dot (Newton) notation.
