Symbolic Solution - Predefined Constants - gamma

DS_10024912 — Tue, 16 May 2023 18:38:57 GMT

I've got a symbolic equation using the gamma symbol. It seems that after performing a symbolic solve gamma is now one of the built in predefined constants - in this case Euler-Mascheroni's constant, Is there a way to override this? The gamma symbol is commonly defined in many other ways.

When you type in your equation and you type gamma, Prime assumes you mean the Euler-Mascheroni-constant and labels it as being constant.

You will have to re-label it as "Variable" to overcome this.

If you look closely you can see that its labeled as "Constant" as it gets set in bold face and in a dark green color (at least thats the default - you can change the look of the various labels if you like).
