The trick is that replacing x with j and evaluating therefore causes (in Python) all the coefficients of x (now j) to be added together separately from all the constant terms to reduce the linear equation to a*x+b (= 0 implied).
Hmmm... so if we used quaternions, could we solve systems of linear equations in 3 variables? -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
