Why does Mathematica struggle with solving this equation? @OleksandrR.: Actually, I see your point. I suppose I was incorrectly expecting the same answer as NSolve provides, but the message from Reduce is pretty clear. |

Why does Mathematica struggle with solving this equation? I think Reduce is close to giving you the correct answer because -16.9154*-0.405465=6.85862, but for some reason it can't get rid of the complex value (0+2PiI). I would report this to Wolfram as a bug. |

How do I make a 3DPlot using cylindrical coordinates? @whuber: Of course you're right. I didn't read the question too carefully. |

What does # mean in Mathematica? You may find the Mathematica Documentation Center helpful for questions like this (you can just type # in the search field at the top and it will direct you to an explanation). In any case, here's a web version of the documentation: reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Slot.html |

Strange behaviour of OutputResponse @EdMendes: FYI, I've noticed you're fairly new to this forum and that you haven't "accepted" any answers to your questions. If you receive useful answers to your questions, you should vote them up. If you receive an answer which truly satisfies your question, you should "accept" it. |

Documentation searches hang frequently: Anyone else dealing with this? FYI, I cannot reproduce this behavior on MMA v9.0.1 under Mac OS X. |

Strange behaviour of OutputResponse I'm also running v9.0.1 on Mac OS X and I get the same results you describe when I run your example on MMA v8. Without spending too much time on this, it looks to me like MMA produces equivalent but different symbolic results under 8 and 9, and the differences become important when you apply Chop. For that reason (and many others), you should exercise caution when "Chopping". I generally only use Chop when I'm trying to display numbers in a "clean" manner, but never in the midst of a calculation. |
