So I'm new to maple, more used to working in matlab. Anyway, I'm trying to solve the pendulum equation with a friction term, but the "dsolve" command spits out something I have no clue how to handle. What do I do with the "theta = _a & where [loads of bullshit]"? It's supposed to give me an integral of some sort that I can work with, not a strange substitution. Halp!
