No, that's not correct. For symbolics, "==" only does trivial checks and leaves the equality unevaluated otherwise, so that you need an explicit evaluation as a bool in order to force a non-trivial computation. Such as: sage: (x+1)^2 == x^2+2*x+1 (x + 1)^2 == x^2 + 2*x + 1 sage: bool(_) True Best regards, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
