[comp.sys.amiga] Equation solving

dix@clinet.fi (Risto Kaivola) (01/07/91)

I have finally come to the conclusion that my symbol manipulation
abilities are not good enough to match those of a computer. This has
probably been asked before, but here it goes anyway: Is there any
software package for the Amiga that takes in equations of the following
form:
 x + y * y / a = z,
and when asked, produces results of the kind
 x = z - y * y / a?
The program, I'm sure, would not be a hard one to write, but I'd like
to get this rather quickly. (And with my skills, there could be no doubt
that I would write code that would fail every hundreth time, and produce
otherwise perfect results :-). The equation solver should be able to solve
equations of 2-4th degree.
 
Besides, I would like to thank Kent Paul Dolan for the effort he put in
the reorganization. I wonder where this might belong in the new hierarchy.
Is the posting (reorganization ballot ?) which described the purposes
of the new groups archived somewhere?
 
Thank you for any information you can provide!

	YES. $395, plus $100 for additional site licenses. The
version is currently 4.2 and should be updated to V by the end of
March. There is a free upgrade.
