Dear all,

I am trying to solve the following equation using Maxima 5.20.1:

solve (sin(x) = cos(x),x)

The result shown is [sin(x) = cos(x)]

I tried to figure out how get an explicit solution for x. There is a document 
[1] pretending that Maxima is not capable to do this. Are they right?

Thank you in advance
Enrico H?rtel
