Hello,
sorry for the long mail, I was just showing that there is something
wrong with the way my version of maxima handle the problem, and
how the solution evolves.
I could remove the assume command, and the answer would be the same,
but if you say that in MACSYMA and in your maxima the answer is correct,
this means that there is a problem in my software setup.
Could you please state your lisp version and so on?
Best Regards
