Wait a minute... isn't sqrt(x^2 + 2*x +1) = x + 1? Sorry, my math could have turned rusty over the years and I'm *really* new to sage, but I thought there was no error in the simplification? regards, daniel -- 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
