Hi, I'm new to using Smath.
I'm having trouble solving systems of equations with Maxima. The "Solve" function returns very precise numbers (in fractions), and then the "Assign" function says the number is either too large or too small.
My problem can be seen on page 6

Hi Jasmin,
It seems that the F2 value is undefined ?

@Ioan: F2 seems to be an unknown, so it is ok to be undefined.

The problem is that you use a symbolic solver and feed it with floating point equations. What do you expect? The solver is forced to resort to extremely long rational numbers in order to avoid cancellation of significant digits,

Use a numerical solver instead or set everything up to the solver command to symbolic optimization.

Then you get an exact solution, which is reasonably compact.



Here is an old SMath sheet of mine for planar truss structures.
