[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

And starting with sage-4.7.1.alpha4 you can also do sage: timeit('2**128', seconds=True) 1.4945983886718749e-06 -- 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
