Category: Documentation Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Felix Edgar Klee (feklee) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: KEEPFLOAT:TRUE ignored by SOLVE Initial Comment: The documentation for SOLVE and for tools that use SOLVE (e.g. EIGENVALUES) doesn't state that floating point numbers are always converted to rational numbers and that KEEPFLOAT:TRUE is being ignored. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Dieter Kaiser (crategus) Date: 2010-02-17 20:44 Message: The suggested extension to the documentation has been added in Polynomials.text revision 1.31. Closing this bug report as fixed.

Dieter Kaiser File Added: 0001-Explanation-for-limitations-of-KEEPFLOAT-in-doc.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dieter Kaiser (crategus) Date: 2009-03-11 11:03 Message: Adding the comment of SF[2556130] to this bug report and closing SF[2556130]. This is the correct thread: "Since the behaviour of maxima doesn't seem likely to change on this, we should probably add a reference to it in the documentation. I believe the keepfloat docs are most appropriate."
