Diff Eqn: 1/a^2 D[T[t],t] + b D[T[t],t] + c^2 T[t] == 0 Solution to this gives the following in TraditionalForm = output:....V7.01.... C1 Exp[1/2 t (a^2 (-b) - a Sqrt[a^2 b^2 -4 c^2])] + C2 e^(1/2 t (Sqrt[a^2 b^2 -4 c^2] - a^2 b)]) ..... where the second part, i.e. e^( )...the exponent part, ( ) , is actuallly on the same line as the ^ as it would be if I used the power exponent from the Basic Math pallette..... Q:....why this difference in output??....why arent both 'e' raised to the power of, etc??... I realize I can fix this with a rule and HoldForm but why doesnt TradForm use only one of the output forms especially in the same output? thanks....jerry blimbaum
