Hello all,
I have very recently installed Maxima, and am learning to use it. I
have just discovered that cos(%pi/5) is not evaluated to its algebraic
value, which would be (sqrt(5)+1)/4; instead, it generates an output
identical to the input. On the other hand, cos(%pi/4) is evaluated to
its well-known value of sqrt(2)/2.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
-Fibo
