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, Gene L. Harding, PE Associate Professor of ECET 574-520-4190 From: lon-capa-users-boun...@mail.lon-capa.org [mailto:lon-capa-users-boun...@mail.lon-capa.org] On Behalf Of Justin Gray Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 1:22 PM To: Discussion list for LON-CAPA users <lon-capa-users@mail.lon-capa.org> Subject: Re: [LON-CAPA-users] Imaginary Numbers 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).
