The ShowSolution command is used to show the solution steps for a Calculus1 problem, that is, a limit, differentiation or integration problem such as can be expected to be encountered in a single-variable calculus course.

If p is omitted, the current (most recently referenced) problem is solved.  Otherwise, the problem referenced by p is solved.  A problem can be referenced either by its problem number (see GetProblem and ShowIncomplete) or by the problem itself, for example via a label.

The options can be used to control how the problem is solved and what is displayed.  The options are:

showrules = truefalse (default: true)

maxsteps = posint (default: 25)

searchoptimal = truefalse (default: true)

If you set infolevel[Student] := 1 or infolevel[Student[Calculus1]] := 1 (see infolevel), Maple may display some additional, useful information about the state of the problem and its solution.
