Hi, I am a newbie with Sage, and have been thrilled at the open source symbolic computation capability. I was wondering if I misunderstood something, or if this is a bug. I am using "SAGE Version 3.1.2, Release Date: 2008-09-19 "
First, I define a matrix X. X = matrix( [ [x, y, z], [y, z, x], [z, x, y] ]) Now, I try and compute X * (X^(-1)). Instead of getting an identity matrix, I get a complicated matrix in x, y and z. Thinking that the "^" may be the issue, I tried X * (X.inverse()), but got the same issue. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a way to simplify and reduce it to an identity matrix? I tried Y = X * (X.inverse()) and then Y.simplify(), but it did not help. Thanks.
