Using sage 5.0 beta 7: sage: 1/sqrt(2) 1/2*sqrt(2)
This is mathematically correct when taken to mean (by precedence of operators) (1/2)*sqrt(2) personally I find it confusing, and many of my students (who don't know the first thing about precedence orders) took it to mean 1/(2*sqrt(2)) with disastrous consequences. Is there any design choice involved here that I can override to get something like sqrt(2)/2 instead?
