... a left over from our previous Hermite Spline.
How many constrained vars Smath can solve vs Mathcad ?
Don't know. Mathcad 11 solves 399 [proved in DE solver].

Hello Jean,

You are asking about Solve() which is a part of Maxima plugin.

By the way, I am not quite sure what is going on with Maxima plugin and the recent SMath version. Unfortunately, there is no unofficial Martins's portable version for a while. That was an indication for me that the things are going on.

Regards,
Radovan

Radovan,

Our conversation is obsolete from the onset, it concerns my ancestor
version 5346. This Smath working version does not access Maxima engine
that is not installed with the f(x) menu. Smath 5346 does not find
Maxima in its own directory "C:\Program Files\Smath Studio\Maxima-5.34.1\
2014 11 16 Smath and Maxima". By merging Maxima-5.34.1 and the Smath
version asociated with it [unknown version], I get the Given/Find
Maxima equivalent but only for one call and the Smath crippled version
that comes with it does little maths [no CreateMesh, no 2D plots, like
no working maths ...]
Reading about Maxima download and so on, it says that if things don't
work as expected: deactivate FireWall and AntiVirus. That I will not do.
Maxima is the core engine of the PTC Mathcad ... I have lot more to say
on that, but make it short.
I suggest nothing, but suggest Smath be delivered on CD at some $ for the
next stable version... there is no free lunch for those who want life be
free. Pretty democratic: you want free at your risk => download.
You are Professional => purchase CD.

Very interesting, to be followed

Cheers, Jean
