Comment #2 on issue 3611 by [email protected]: sqrt(x) should be the same as x ** 0.5
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3611

FIrst of all, I apologize for being a bit rude (I should at least have written ‘hello’!) Ok, I understand your point. Yet, there should be a way to pass from sqrt to ** 0.5. This is a bit a solace:


In [61]: diff (sqrt (x) * (x ** -.5), x)
Out[61]: 0

But:


In [65]: diff (sqrt (x) - (x ** .5), x)
Out[65]:
       -0.5      1
- 0.5⋅x     + ───────
                  ___
              2⋅╲╱ x

There seems to be different rules applied whether the expression is a multiplication or an addition…
