Waterloo, Canada, December 12, 2016: Maplesoft today announced that its mathematical computation software, Maple, is now on display at the Science Museum in London. On December 8, 2016, the museum opened Mathematics: The Winton Gallery which explores how mathematicians, their tools and ideas have helped to shape the modern world over the last four hundred years. The gallery showcases an early version of Maple from 1997.

The physical effect known as stepwise precession is a surprising fact that takes place in the movement of an elastic pendulum. When this pendulum is initially set near the downward equilibrium vertical configuration, with the length of the spring stretched by the gravity force, there is a chance to move in such a way that the springing vibrational mode of movement and the rotational "swing" mode interchange periodically their respective energies, with a periodic change of the swing plane and stepwise precession. We simulate here numerically the same dynamical behaviour for the natural extension of a double elastic-spherical pendulum.

The electric field around a narrow conical point can be very high, and such a behavior is the reason for the effectiveness of lightning rods. We use Maple's LegendreP function to visualize the electric potential near a lightning rod.
