Hi,
Does anyone know how mathematica and maple solve cubics? Do they do it numerically?

Mathematica and Maple use different algorithms to solve cubic equations, but both rely on a combination of numerical and symbolic techniques. They use methods such as factoring, polynomial division, and the cubic formula to find solutions.
Yes, both programs are capable of solving all types of cubic equations, including those with complex or irrational solutions. However, the accuracy of the solutions may vary depending on the complexity of the equation and the specific algorithm used.
The solutions provided by Mathematica and Maple are typically very accurate, but they may involve some rounding errors due to the limitations of numerical computation. It is always a good practice to check the solutions manually to ensure their accuracy.
Yes, both programs can solve cubic equations with multiple variables. However, they may require additional input or constraints to find a unique solution, as these equations can have infinitely many solutions in some cases.
No, there are other software programs and programming languages that can also solve cubic equations, such as MATLAB, Python, and C++. However, Mathematica and Maple are specifically designed for mathematical and scientific computations, making them popular choices for solving complex equations.
