Then, average them, try that.. say it's too low, then average with the high and try again.. etc 08:37 -!- Prax01D(n=Prax01D@tor58-5-76-139.dynamic.rogerstelecom.net) has joined #maxima 10:18 -!- gabkdlly(n=pannwitz@rellich.mi.fu-berlin.de) has joined #maxima 10:43 -!- turn-omg_(n=turn-omg@FLH1Aah024.fki.mesh.ad.jp) has joined #maxima 11:12 -!- gabkdlly(n=pannwitz@rellich.mi.fu-berlin.de) has left #maxima 12:26 -!- HaraldG(n=rldprog@g4v1.g4.wien.funkfeuer.at) has joined #maxima 12:27 mogunus: If you want a numerical solution for an equation, then you probably want the function find_root(). 12:27 float() only takes a symbolic expression and tries to evaluate it to an float, but it doesn't do anything clever itself. 12:48 -!- HaraldG(n=rldprog@g4v1.g4.wien.funkfeuer.at) has joined #maxima 13:31 -!- gabkdlly(n=pannwitz@aachen.mi.fu-berlin.de) has joined #maxima 14:12 -!- eggauah(n=daniel@201.82.9.163) has joined #maxima 14:37 -!- Prax01D(n=Prax01D@tor58-5-76-184.dynamic.rogerstelecom.net) has joined #maxima
