I've been staring at the output of ")di op solve", but cannot spot it. Does it say "Expression Integer" or does it perhaps say something else that an "Expression Integer" can be implicitly converted to? I assume Axiom sometimes does that kind of thing? > (3) -> solve((250/x)^x-6000000000) > > (3) [] > Type: List Equation Expression Integer > > Unfortunately Axiom apparently cannot (yet) find an exact solution for > this one (requires LambertW). Yes, I spotted LambertW in the output from Maple when I asked it the same question. :-) I have however never heard of it before. Is it difficult to implement? I'm thinking it could be my first stab at implementing something new in Axiom. :-) -- Cheers, Søren Hansen. _______________________________________________ Axiom-math mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-math
