Details

  • This message is generated when the indicated function encounters a transcendental equation.
  • Solve and related functions are primarily designed for solving polynomial equations and equations that can be readily translated into polynomial equations.
  • Off[message] switches off the message; On[message] switches it on. For example: Off[Solve::tdep].

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

This transcendental equation cannot be solved by algebraic methods:

Wolfram Language code: Solve[Sin[x] == Log[x], x]

You can use FindRoot to get a numerical approximation for the solution:

Wolfram Language code: FindRoot[Sin[x] == Log[x], {x, 1}]
