Re: [Maxima-discuss] solve() involving sqrt()

[Stavros M. <mac...@al...>]

The notebook interface as used in wxMaxima (or for that matter Jupyter) has
lots of problems -- notably, it doesn't "understand" global state or
dependencies. So recalculating any individual cell is not guaranteed to be
performed in the same environment as the last time you evaluated it.

But if you *evaluate all cells*, wxMaxima does seem to recompute everything
starting from a fresh instance of Maxima.
