Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around solving a specific economics equation using Maple, particularly focusing on how to handle variable dependencies within the equation. The participant seeks assistance with a formula from an economics paper, aiming to adapt it for a variable-dependent scenario rather than a constant.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in computing an equation from an economics paper in Maple, specifically wanting to define a variable D as dependent on another variable Y.
  • The participant seeks to solve for X** as indicated in the paper, but is unsure how to proceed with the variable dependency.
  • Another participant suggests that the task may be too complex for someone new to Maple and recommends starting with simpler tasks.
  • The original poster responds that the suggestion does not address their specific problem, indicating frustration with the lack of direct help.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus, as the original poster is looking for specific guidance on their problem, while another participant suggests a more general approach to learning Maple.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify the specific mathematical steps needed to adapt the equation or the implications of making D dependent on Y. There is also no exploration of the underlying assumptions in the original equation from the paper.

Hey everyone,

I have a problem to compute an equation i just read in an economics paper that was on my reading list. I simply cannot compute it in Maple and I have no further idea how to grasp it. Any suggestions are HIGHLY appreciated ;)

The problematic formula is (3) on page 7. But instead of defining D to be a constant, i want D to be dependent on Y. For simplicity take D==Y...
I now want to solve this for X** as in equation (4).

Hope any Maple pro is able to help me.

thank you guy in advance!

nobody got any idea?

Far too complicated to be the first thing you do in Maple...
Spend a few weeks doing simpler things first.
 
jeah, but that does not really solve my problem ;)

if it was so easy that i would be able to solve it, i wouldn't be posting here ;)
