Ok, I understand the explanation and I understand that this behaviour is by design.

Thank you for taking the time to explain it!

I agree that the correct result is  + constant.

I left out the constant because my understanding is that Maple does not return a constant of integration and therefore I didn't expect to see it in Maple's reply.

To me, Maple is in fact returning a constant of integration that it has determined to be 1. This allows Maple to nicely factor the solution. Using the logic that you suggest, Maple might have returned any arbitrary constant and this you would argue would also be correct. I find this very confusing and don't understand the logic that Maple is employing in it's solution.

I also did this in Mathematica and it comes back with  .

I am genuinely confuddled and need some more explanation of what is going on?

Hello Carl,

I thank you for your reply.

I may need to use this solution, but I was hoping to be able to do this for the code edit region alone.

I believe that the ability to change the font size at the code edit region level was available in prior versions of Maple and the technique is described in one of Prof. Scott Gould's videos.
