I am having this common problem when solving trig equations. I read "?solve" but missed something somewhere because I still don't know how to solve this problem. Taking a simple example of solve(sin(x)=1,x) the answer returned is Pi/2 and while Pi/2 is a correct answer, because of the periodic nature of the sin function there are others. So maple for some reason (which doesn't make sense to me at all)is limiting the range/domain and therefore not providing the complete answer which is Pi/2 +2nPi where n is any integer. I tried to force Maple to consider a larger range by using assume(0<>
