Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None 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: 2009-03-11 11:10 Message: Adding the proposed change to the documentation of SF[2556130]. 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."

In the archived email logs, this starts at line 87000 of the unzipped 2003.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rupert Swarbrick (rswarbrick) Date: 2009-02-02 02:13 Message: See 2556130 for a proposed patch.
