Unfortunately this isn't right either. The first solution is spurious, isn't it? float(subst(q = -1/sqrt(1-sqrt(2)), q*sqrt(q^2+2)-1)) => - 1.999999999999999 Thanks for your help Robert Dodier --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
