Hi, >From what I can tell, Sage lacks an explicit function to compute implicit derivatives, akin say to Maple's implicit_diff command. See this (really) old thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/f374f76bb3cd0361 Is this still the current situation? I've written one that seems to work; something to the effect of sage: var('y') y sage: implicit_diff(x**2 + y**2 = x*y, y, x) (x - 2*y)/(2*x - y) sage: implicit_diff(x**2 + y**2 = x*y, x, y) (x - 2*y)/(2*x - y) I'd be happy to open a ticket with the code & some documentation if someone can suggest a location where to put it. regards john perry --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
