Hi Jean. I see some other post from you (and I can't see all posts, so, I assume that probably there are a lot), exhibing the benefits of the use of root, whith susseffull, and I agree that they are elegants solutions and your use of root is powerfull.
Now you demonstrate a technique for discretizing a problem with the help of root and how to handle the RootOf' maple function, without using allvalues (anothe maple function), but using mathcad functions.

I haven't mc14, but what I can see in a few momment was only that for simbolycall evaluations root need the complete set of arguments, or something like this. So, I think that there are chance to have goods results in mc14 also.

To understand some questions (like how roots are implemented in mu-pad, and see their capabilities), I think that who are interested can read mu-pad help, which is free as chm somewhere in the web. (So, actually you don't need install anything. I remember that I point one direction in the collab, but can't found where). And this is not reverse engineering, only is reading how the programs are working reading their documentation.
The function that I found usefull for me in maple was isolate (a very simple function, but related with root). This avoid-me to make some simple keystrokes errors. But this is only in mc11 working model.
