| Jul 5, 2016 at 18:18 | comment | added | Michael E2 | @BoLe This is how it works in V8.0.4 and V9.0.1, too. One issue newbies seem to face is to distinguish warnings from fatal errors. And, aside from their own uncertainty, maybe they need to show their boss/client/advisor/professor code that is red-message free to convince him or her that they're doing things right. | |
| Jul 5, 2016 at 13:23 | comment | added | BoLe | It looks like newer systems (version 10.3 at least) only issue a message but then continue with the calculation and return the right result, at least with the example from the Wolfram quick answer: NMaximize[NIntegrate[(2 - a) Sin[a x], {x, 0, Pi}], a]. | |

| May 28, 2013 at 23:01 | history | edited | C. E.♦ | CC BY-SA 3.0 | Added another example under the FindRoot category. |
| May 28, 2013 at 22:54 | comment | added | Michael E2 | There are many answers in which NumericQ figures. Some have long explanations, some just point out the problem, and some show the solution without much comment. Of the ones I could find, I tried to include those with at least some explanation and include a variety of the circumstances in which the problem arises. No doubt others may know of better examples I've missed, and I hope they will improve this answer. Thanks! | |
