It's more subtle than that: if I say that `a + 3*b = 0` and `a + c*b + d = 0` and I want to match coefficients keeping only c and d then I infer that `c, d = 3, 0`. But if I were not matching coefficients then I could only infer that `d = b*(3-c)` and although the solution found before satisfies this, there are also other solutions like `c, d = 1, 4` when `b = 2`. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
