I am trying to solve a trascendental equation of the type sin(x)=x, does anybody got an Maple algorithm or have a clue of what metodology can be adopted to solve it. My question goes in two directions: 1) the mathematical way of solving an equation like that 2) the way of implementing the resolution in Maple. For the first topic I knowm this is not the appropriate forum, however since there are a lot of mathematicians particiating I have supposed that someone could help me out, or indicate another forum to post this question. Thank you for your help RV
