Ahem ! On one machine :
sage: sage.version.version '6.4.beta4' sage: var("w,t") (w, t) sage: solve(-(1/2*sqrt((4*w+1)+1))*t+w==0,w) [w == 1/2*t*sqrt(4*w + 2)] sage: maxima.version() '5.34.1' Another one : sage: sage.version.version '6.4.beta1' sage: var("w,t") (w, t) sage: solve(-(1/2*sqrt((4*w+1)+1))*t+w==0,w) [w == 1/2*t*sqrt(4*w + 2)] sage: maxima.version() '5.33.0' What are you talking about, guys ?
