It is Jonathan G and I will try to open a ticket. I'm running 3 workshops
on computer software and hardware for our Chemistry, Physics and Math
departments over the next few days, so we'll see when I can squeeze it in.
I agree that maybe forcing Maxima to do purely symbolics might be the

Yes, I made a typo..Thanks for realizing what I meant.
However, I still think that a solution that has complex answers is OK. If
you are finding the symbolic solution isn't it better to find the general
solution and then deal with specific cases? I don't see what is wrong
with: p = (-A)^(1/B

I guess you mean: [p = (-A)^(1/B)]
Think about
sage: var('x y z p q A B C')
sage: solve((A + p^B),p)
results in:
...
TypeError: ECL says: Maxima asks: Is B an integer?
Shouldn't it result in:
[p = (-A)^(1/p)]
