I've attached a small batch file containing an equation I need to solve (for school, but computers recommended, help OK, etc.). It seems that solve() should be able to handle it, but apparently this isn't the case. If I set numer: false, I get a long answer, but I can't seem to get one in numeric form. I'm new to Maxima, but would like to use it instead of the normal Windows programs (Mathcad) for my assignments. Any suggestions? -- Joel Konkle-Parker
