I have to apologize, I gave a slightly incorrect Mathematica code earlier, the actual code was:
Solve[ Exp[-2*a*x]-1+4*a*x==0,x]//N The earlier code gave the wrong answer. Anyways: it could be a different function, which potentially would run much longer, > by repetitive splitting of the interval > (I guess that's what Mathematica is doing) > There appear to be 2 main solving functions in Mathematica, "Solve" and "Reduce," the differences are explained in this well written answer: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/17127/what-is-the-difference-between-reduce-and-solve What is the result of such a Mathematica command on an example with > infinitely many roots given in this thread? So, the Solve function doesn't find any it seems but it tells you to use the Reduce function, which I think does give all the solutions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
