[LON-CAPA-users] Imaginary Numbers

[Harding, Gene L]

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your response.  I recently downloaded Maxima and started playing with it.  I have been through a few tutorials, but have not even scratched the surface so far.  I think it will be a good while before I am ready to use it in LON-CAPA problems.  ☺

Best regards,

Hi Gene,

Certainly if you use a formularesponse problem with the default grading (in Maxima), then you can set problems with complex number answers. For example, 2 + 3*%i (%i is the imaginary unit in Maxima).

Hi,

Can LON-CAPA handle imaginary and complex numbers?  I am having trouble finding any info about it in the help.

Thanks,
