Hi again,
It appears that Maxima is unable to solve equations of the form,
2 * sin(x) = 0.8, where x belongs to [0; 2*pi].
I entered this:
find_root(2*sin(x)=0.8, x, 0, 2*%pi);
and Maxima returned this:
function has same sign at endpoints
[f(0.0)=-0.8,f(6.283185307179586)=-0.8]
-- an error. To debug this try debugmode(true);
Is there a way to solve this kind of equation?
By the way, I have found very few difficulties using Maxima for my
school work. It's really a great piece of software :)
