Solving differential equations
   [wxMaxima: title   end   ] */

/* [wxMaxima: comment start ]
If the equation that defines the shape of a curve references the steepness of the curve (diff('f(x),x)), the steepness of the steepness of the curve (diff('f(x),x,2)) or any other derivation of the curve the result is a differential equation that describes the general shapes the curve can have without describing its actual height.

/* [wxMaxima: comment start ]
Often a differential equation has a solution that cannot be expressed symbolically as mathematics lacks the necessary functions. In other cases one has to guess the general form of the solution and the computer only helps in finding the values of the parameters this solution contains. In the simple cases an engineer encounters on a daily basis maxima can do this automatically, instead.

An example
   [wxMaxima: section end   ] */

/* [wxMaxima: comment start ]
A circuit is provided with an input capacitance of C_In=100nF, provides a resistive load R_Load and is connected to a power supply U_Supply via a cable of the inductivity L_Cable. In this moment the circuit is destroyed by an overvoltage. Let's see if we can calculate how high this voltage was.

/* [wxMaxima: comment start ]
First we describe the energy-storing circuit elements. The voltage over the inductivity of the cable is calculated as follows:

/* [wxMaxima: input   start ] */
eq1:U_Supply=U_In(t)+L_Cable*diff(I_Cable(t),t);
/* [wxMaxima: input   end   ] */

/* [wxMaxima: comment start ]
The current into the input capacitance is:
   [wxMaxima: comment end   ] */

/* [wxMaxima: input   start ] */
eq2:I_C(t)=C_In*diff(U_In(t),t);
/* [wxMaxima: input   end   ] */

/* [wxMaxima: comment start ]
Now we have enough information to calculate the input voltage itself:
   [wxMaxima: comment end   ] */

/* [wxMaxima: input   start ] */
eq3:U_In(t)=R_Load*(I_Cable(t)-I_C(t));
/* [wxMaxima: input   end   ] */

/* [wxMaxima: comment start ]
If we did everything right maxima now can determine the equation that defines the general shape of all possible loading curves:

In this case the answer to the question desolve() asks doesn't actually affect the shape of the result, but the way the result is expressed. The equations we get are very generic, though, still, as maxima knows the general set of shapes the function might have, but in order to draw actual curves lacks I_Cable(0) and U_In(0):

/* [wxMaxima: input   start ] */

U_In(t=0)=atvalue(U_In(t),t=0,0);

Next let's avoid the question using assume():
