[apologies if this is a resend] Hi. I am having difficulty using sage to manipulate square roots.
Consider: a = 1 + sqrt(2) + sqrt(3) b= (a^2).expand() c = sqrt(b) Then 'y' should be equal to 'a'. But, given 'y' I cannot make sage return the simple form. Trying y.simplify_full() doesn't do what I want. How do I make sage recognize that a=c, other than using n()? -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst hankin.ro...@gmail.com -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
