If you mean: "what would happen if sage would initialize maxima_calculus > (which is maxima_lib) with domain: real?" -- a lot of doctests would break. >
Yes, that's what I meant, and you are confirming my assumption. But shouldn't Maxima even give an error message when you ask it to solve an inequality in the complex field? I have asked this in the Maxima tracker: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/2783/ Why does "sage: solve(x^2 <= -1, x)" give []? Ether 'solve' or Maxima seems to have switched to "domain: real" to make sense of the input. Maybe that's what 'solve' should always automatically do when it is called on an inequality? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
