One thing i can think of is to store them in expressions, the left hand sides, and take differences. Then a test if it is zero. (or store the entire equation and calculate eq.lhs - eq.rhs or something like that) But the problem is, afaik Sage can't read latex syntax and also there is only limited support for implicit multiplications (i.e. 3x => 3*x) sage: implicit_multiplication(True) sage: var('x y') (x, y) sage: ex1 = 3 + x^2 + (2-y)/3 * x sage: ex2 = x^2 + ((2-y)/3)x + 3 sage: if simplify(ex1-ex2) == 0: print "They are the same!" ....: They are the same!
