- In Maple, if I define
-
- p:=(1+(gam-1)/2*m^2)^(gam/(gam-1));
-
-
- 1) how can I solve for m in terms of gam and p?
-
- 2) is there a way to do implicit differentiation, so that I
- can get the derivative of m with respect to p?
-
- [granted, for this problem, I can do all of the above analytically,
- but I haven't been able to figure out how to get Maple to do it ...]
