Omit the semicolon at the end of the line above and you will see
a list of solutions. A semicolon is used in Mathematica to form
a compound expression and only the result of the last part of a
compound expression is displayed. If there is no explicit
expression following a semicolon, Mathematica still sees this as
a compound expression with the last part being Null.
Consequently, nothing is displayed.
Alternatively, simply enter s1 in a new cell and execute
normally to cause the contents of s1 to be displayed.
