Hi, this is most likey due to rounding errors. The equality holds for fractions: {{{ sage: 1/2==1/2 True sage: 1/2==1/2+1-1 True }}} But note that rearranging your equation, we can still get equality: {{{ sage: sqrt (2) - sqrt(2) + 1 - 1 ==0 True }}} Hope that helps. didier --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
