Need help
Well, then ... I've cc'ed this to R-Help so that you can get other opinions to that I express below. R is for data analysis, statistics, and graphing data. R **can** do (natively) some symbolic mathematics/algebra; and there are R packages (Ryacas for one) that provide interfaces to symbolic math systems (Yacas in this case). But, in general, since you're already using Maple for this purpose, I'd say to stick with it and learn to use R for its intended purpose. One good tutorial to this end is "An Introduction to R," which ships with every copy of R. There are also many on the Web, and CRAN has many books on R listed. -- Bert

Thanks, Bert. However, this is not a HW. I use Maple and Matlab. Want to learn about R too.

Hello,
I am brand new in this site as well as in R. Please accept my early
apology if it's not the right place to ask such a question.
I have the following equation:
b=[2(1-a)(1+2a)^0.5]/(1+3a)
How can I solve the above equation for 'a' using R?
Thanks in advance.
