Hi Daniel,
I'm happy to help.
The function solve_in_domain will only return solutions in the doman you
specify, that is correct. I ran it with imin=-100 and imax=100 and it
was a bit slow, but I use a 4 year old netbook, so I'm pretty sure that
on a bit more powerful hardware it should be fine to set those bounds to
+/-1000.

Dan, I know you are busy preparing for exams. When you have some free
time, I wonder if you would add something to the Maxima wiki page about
how you use Maxima. I am sure that there are mathematics
teachers/lecturers who would benefit from this knowledge.
