@acer  @J F Ogilvie As you may know, the CODATA 2018 values relesed last year have many constants now exact (Planck's constant, Avogadro's constant, elementary charge, gas constant, Boltzmann's constant, speed of light (constant for a long time)), so the effort of an update now means very few changes will need to be made in the future.

@Carl Love i like that better, though the error message is still a bit obscure. Perhaps the type should be "listcontaining" rather than "speclist" ...

@Axel Vogt 

Fac:=n->n!

:)

@tomleslie Thanks. I saw the code (only procedure definitions) but missed the system calls. Interestingly, the output of the procedure definition "monspt" in question shows it was using ListTools:Reverse by default.

@Lisa6 There is insufficient information.

@Lisa6 You must be running more code than you are showing. I can't run the code because I don't have a version with the convex package; you don't say which version of Maple you have.  @tomleslie and I agree that the message is very clear, so you will have to upload a worksheet that demonstrates the error.

@Preben Alsholm You're right. Actually now when I rerun the OPs worksheet (Maple 2017) I'm not getting any errors; it's just slow, Not sure why I thought that.

@Anthrazit  I hadn't thought of the case where the two units didn't have the same zero; that does seem to violate the ideas of quantity calculus. Actually, I am more worried about the case where you can convert 0 K to 0 kg. That's why I used the word "debatable"

Notice that there was a missing space  or * between Pi and (ex6r)^2 so these weren't being multiplied. @Kitonum fixed this up in his answer. The fact that (4)^2 wasn't automatically simplified is a clue that something is not quite as intended.

@isifesai Your solve syntax needs to be

solve({cat(eq, 1 .. 62), seq(a[i] >= 0, i = 1 .. 26), seq(b[i] >= 0, i = 1 .. 12), seq(x[i] >= 0, i = 1 .. 24)}, [seq(x[i], i = 1 .. 24)])

but you have many more equations and constraints than variables, and you don't get any solutions.

@fatemeh1090 The .pdf result has x__2 in, which in the worksheet I did, is expressed in terms of alpha, beta etc. It is not easy to check if they are the same.

@Carl Love That's a nice result. When I get that message, I assume that dsolve has already tried to use solve. So I'm surprised it can be done by hand; I'll try harder with future cases.

The square roots are giving you the problem. You might have better luck formulating the problem in polar coordinates (see SetCoordinates).

I don't get the warning in Maple 2017. Adding the allsolutions option still gives only the two solutions you got, suggesting there are no others.

@baharm31 Sorry, I don't understand what you want. You need to give a simpler example that illustrates what you want.
