[sage-support] solve() problem

2010-08-19 Thread robin hankin
hello everyone I can't make solve() do what I want. Look at this: sage> (2+I)*(1+7*I) 15I-5 sage> (2+I)*(1-7*I) -13I+9 sage>solve([a*b==15*I-5,a*conjugate(b)==-13*I+9],[a,b]) [] So, from the first two lines I know that a=2+I, b=1+7I should be a solution to the system in the third, yet solve(

Sage will not solve this system of equations: x^2 + y^2 == 25 x^2 - y^2 - y == 5 (-y^2) {{{ sage: var('x y') sage: solve( [x^2 + y^2 == 25, x^2 - y^2 - y == 5], x,y ) [] }}} Yet, save will solve this system of equations: x^2 + y^2 == 25 x^2 + y^2 - y == 5 (+y^2) {{{ sage: so

Can someone please tell me why it is impossible to solve the following system of boolean equations in SAGE: sage: N=144 sage: P = BooleanPolynomialRing(N,'x',order='lex') sage: t = [] sage: for i in range(0,N): t.append(var(P.gen(i))) sage: print "t",t t [x0, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8,
