All these are identical (unless there are typos)... x^2 + ((2-y)/3)x + 3 = 0
x^2 + (2/3-y/3)x + 3 = 0 x^2 + (\frac{2}{3}-\frac{y}{3}) x + 3 = 0 x^2 + \frac{(2-y)}{3}x + 3 = 0 x^2 + \frac{(2-y)}{3} * x + 3 = 0 3 + x^2 + \frac{(2-y)}{3}x + 5 = 2 What I need is something that could take any two of these equations and tell me if they are equal or not. I could possibly do some LaTeX parsing beforehand to make it look like a regular equation if need be. Note that in the above examples there are differences not only in polynomial order, but in the way the fractions are written. Also, the above is just one set of equivalent equations. I would need this to work with any expression or equation. I would think something like Sage's api stuff could do something like this. However, I don't know how to implement it. I played with Sage some, but I could never get it to compare properly. I just kept getting syntax errors. Anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this issue? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
