Unusual Behaviour (equals bug ...) with symbolical Solve.
  • 1) If I type sin(x|)=0 and press Solve, the software evaluates to
    Sin(x) [solves nothing]

    2) If I put the result in a variable, it evaluates numeral answers, so a=Solve(sin(x)=0)
    [0, 3.1315, 6.2832]

    3) But I want the algebraic form; when a just show the variable a, it evaluates to:
    [0, pi, 2*pi], which is much nicer and is what a expected in item 1.

  • It works for me. I just did

    Solve(sin(x)=0)

    and I had to evaluate it twice since it toggles back and forth between numerical and symbolic.

    Make sure SmartSolve is checked, you may also need Fractions highlighted as well (in the options).
