Studying the Differential Problem with Maple

This article takes the mathematical software Maple as the auxiliary tool to study the differential problem of two types of trigonometric functions. We can obtain the Fourier series expansions of any order derivatives of these two types of functions by using differentiation term by term theorem, and hence greatly reduce the difficulty of calculating their higher order derivative values. On the other hand, we provide some examples to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study involved finding solutions through manual calculations and verifying these solutions by using Maple. This type of research method not only allows the discovery of calculation errors, but also helps modify the original directions of thinking from manual and Maple calculations.


Introduction
The computer algebra system (CAS) has been widely employed in mathematical and scientific studies. The rapid computations and the visually appealing graphical interface of the program render creative research possible. Maple possesses significance among mathematical calculation systems and can be considered a leading tool in the CAS field. The superiority of Maple lies in its simple instructions and ease of use, which enable beginners to learn the operating techniques in a short period. In addition, through the numerical and symbolic computations performed by Maple, the logic of thinking can be converted into a series of instructions. The computation results of Maple can be used to modify our previous thinking directions, thereby forming direct and constructive feedback that can aid in improving understanding of problems and cultivating research interests. Inquiring through an online support system provided by Maple or browsing the Maple website (www.maplesoft.com) can facilitate further understanding of Maple and might provide unexpected insights. As for the instructions and operations of Maple, we can refer to [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
In calculus and engineering mathematics courses, determining the -th order derivative value of a function at , in general, needs to go through two procedures: firstly finding the -th order derivative of , and then taking into . These two procedures will make us face with increasingly complex calculations when calculating higher order derivative values of a function (i.e. is large), and hence to obtain the answers by manual calculations is not easy. In this paper, we mainly evaluate the derivatives of the following two types of trigonometric functions Where are real numbers, , is any integer, is any positive integer, and . We can obtain the Fourier series expansions of any order derivatives of trigonometric functions (1) and (2) by using differentiation term by term theorem; these are the major results of this study (i.e., Theorems 1 and 2), and hence greatly reduce the difficulty of calculating their higher order derivative values. As for the study of related differential problems can refer to [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. On the other hand, we propose some examples to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study involved finding solutions through manual calculations and verifying these solutions by using Maple. This type of research method not only allows the discovery of calculation errors, but also helps modify the original directions of thinking from manual and Maple calculations. Therefore, Maple provides insights and guidance regarding problem-solving methods.

Theorem 2

Examples
In the following, for the differential problem of the two types of trigonometric functions in this study, we provide some examples and use Theorems 1, 2 to determine the Fourier series expansions of any order derivatives and evaluate some higher order derivative values of these trigonometric functions. On the other hand, we employ Maple to calculate the approximations of these higher order derivative values and their solutions for verifying our answers.

Conclusion
As mentioned, the differentiation term by term theorem plays a significant role in the theoretical inferences of this study. In fact, the application of this theorem is extensive, and can be used to easily solve many difficult problems; we endeavor to conduct further studies on related applications. On the other hand, Maple also plays a vital assistive role in problem-solving. In the future, we will extend the research topic to other calculus and engineering mathematics problems and solve these problems by using Maple. These results will be used as teaching materials for Maple on education and research to enhance the connotations of calculus and engineering mathematics.
