Good day Ole,
Yes, I suppose. This being said however, I'm not using any "student
package". When I say that "solve(exp(a*x)=c*(exp(b*x), x)" works with
other tools, it does. Period. You don't need a student package. I'm not
sure why Maxima would like to use such a "student package". It could
just solve the equation the best it can, indicating, possibly, that it
didn't work out all cases and that it is assuming real numbers throughout.
