Maths processing error reported #211

Closed BillFoster closed 10 years ago

BillFoster commented 10 years ago

Running the question https://numbas.mathcentre.ac.uk/question/767/find-eigenvalues-and-eigenvectors-of-a-2x2-matrix/

the advice has the line 'Hence the characteristic polynomial $p(\lambda)$ is' and then there is a maths processing reported. If you use shift-enter to create a new line at an appropriate point in the eqnarray then momentarily you see the correct review, but clicking again in the code reverts to Math processing error (and on running).

You wrote \\lambda, because that's the way i-assess did it. I removed that syntax because it makes other things awkward. You can just write lambda.
