Dear Maple people,
Here follows a transcript of a Maple 6 session on a PC:
-----------------------------------------------------------
> restart;
> D[1](f); D[2](f);
D[1](f)
D[2](f)
> D[1](exp@f);
(exp@f) D[1](f)
> D[2](exp@f);
Error, (in D/exp) invalid arguments
------------------------------------------------------------
My question is: what is wrong with the last statement?
Thank you in advance for an answer,

Paul,
D[n] refers to nth argument, not nth derivative e.g.:
> D[1](exp);
exp
> D[1](x->x^2);
x -> 2 x
> D[2]](exp);
Error, (in D/exp) invalid arguments
> D[2](x->x^2);
Error, (in D/procedure) index out of range: function takes only 1 arguments
> D[1]((x,y)->x^2+y^2);
(x, y) -> 2 x
> D[2]((x,y)->x^2+y^2);
(x, y) -> 2 y
>
> D[1](D[1](exp));
exp
> D[1](D[2]((x,y)->x^2*y^2));
(x, y) -> 4 x y

It's a bug, and still present in Maple 8.
A work-around is
> g:= (s,t) -> exp(f(s,t));
D[2](g);

Paul
It looks to me like a bug arising from
> D[2](f@g);
(D[2](f)@g)*D[2](g)
Surely, by definition, it should deliver the result (D[1](f)@g)*D[2](g)
when f is a function of one variable (as with exp in your case).
In addition, I see that the same error arises when the variables are
explicitly shown in
> D[2]((x,y)->(exp@f)(x,y));
I await comment from others.
Regards
Stan
