I wonder how to get hold of the primes and exponents that
one gets on applying IFACTOR.
To give an example, suppose I want to compute \sum_{p|n}(e_p(n))^2*p,
where e_p(n) denotes the exponent of the prime p in the prime
factorisation of n, how do I most efficiently program this in Maple ?
"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand." - Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency
"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired." Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
