Mathcad 11 does not read higher versions. "Transcendental functions", i.e: algebraic equation are generally solved in closed form via special functions. Here solving with Lambert (W). 15 examples attached + an example of symbolic indexer.
In general transcendental equations have no closed form solutions. You use find to get a numeric solution.
Note that your definition of j does not make j an imaginary number. Rather it makes j an angle. For the unit imaginary, use the form 1j. __________________ � � � � Tom Gutman
