As with evaluation, when you solve an expression in Scientific Notebook, Maple returns an exact or symbolic answer whenever appropriate. Otherwise, it returns a numerical approximation. You can use the Solve Numeric command to force a numerical result for any solution.
You can solve equations with one or more variables. You can solve inequalities with Solve Exact. And you can solve a system of equations if you place the equations in a matrix cell, and then apply the Solve Exact command to the matrix. These examples illustrate how to solve expressions in Scientific Notebook.
