Hello,
I have just noticed the following with Windows Maxima 5.9.3
(%i1) exp(1.0e-1);
(%o1) 1.105170918075648
(%i2) exp(1.0b-1);
1.0b-1
(%o2) %e
In 5.9.2 both expressions returned numerical values.
Is this intended?
For instance function newton is affected by this. The code of newton misses a line
'numer:true' and so it now hangs, if I try to solve an equation with function exp.
