Re: WP 34s Solve Message #3 Posted by Paul Dale on 5 Apr 2013, 1:32 a.m., in response to message #2 by Walter B
Due to the algorithm used, solve doesn't necessarily approach the root directly. Once the root is bracketed, one estimate can stay the same and wildly incorrect while the other converges. It would take extra code to figure out which to display -- nothing too difficult of course. Look at trunk/xrom/solve.wp34s from the source repository.
Since the 34S is in bug fix only mode at the moment, I'm not planning on improving the solver. The source is available, thus, anyone can code an improved solver and submit it for inclusion.
