Turns out Maxima does not like to eat expressions like this anyway: diff(f,e^x,1) because exp(x) is not a variable. Perhaps it is impossible to use these in this way? (Or maybe one would have to use ' forms?) So presumably if we try to send something like this to Maxima we should raise an error. However, Robert's hack would be reasonable to add to the documentation in solve, where one might try to do exactly the original post. Or is there another interpretation to this? - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
