Hello everyone.


I would like some information regarding an evaluation problem I have with mathematica 5.0

I am trying to solve a 5x5 nonlinear system that takes forever to solve and ends up using more than 900 MBs of swap memory...

I applied the same equations in a different math program which I dont mention here only to avoid being accused of advertising and it came up with the solution in less than 2 seconds...

the entire command is as follows (I hope it doesn't get mangled too much through html)... I also attach it as a notebook file....

Any Ideas?...thx


\!\(Solve[{a + b +
c + d + e == 10, a\/\(10 - a\) == \((\((50 +
20 + 65)\)\ b\^2 + \((50 + 20 + 65)\) c\^2 + \((50 + 20 + 65)\) \
d\^2 + \((50 + 40 e\^2)\))\)\/\(\((50 + 65)\)\ a\^2\), b\/\(10 - a - b\) == \
\((\((50 + 20 + 65)\) c\^2 + \((50 + 20 + 65)\) d\^2 + \((50 + 40 e\^2)\))\)\
\/\(\((50 + 65)\)\ b\^2\), c\/\(10 - a - b - c\) == \((\((50 + 20 + 65)\) \
d\^2 + \((50 + 40 e\^2)\))\)\/\(\((50 + 65)\) c\^2\),
d\/\(10 - a - b - c - d\) == \((50 + 40 e\^2)\)\/\(\((50 + 65)\)\ \
d\^2\)}, {a, b, c, d, e}] // N\)

I think you want MathGroup, not the NKS Forum. For general Mathematica questions...
