It appears that it's a bug. If you have access to GitHub, report an issue with the details. I'd recommend including the Mathematica result so a test case can be made.

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi Tim,

Thank you! I did try that, but it still hang there...

from sympy.abc import x, y, z, a, b, c
from sympy import solve, solve_poly_system

solve_poly_system([x+y+z-a, x*y+y*z+x*z-b, x*y*z-c], [x, y, z])


In fact, I had the impression that when I used the keyboard to interrupt the solve() earlier today, it showed it is trying to use the polynomial
solver.

Hi,

You might try the polynomial module solve support. See,

Cheers,

Hi all,

I have this equation, which is Vieta's formula and is polynomial.

SymPy code: didn't work... just hang there

from sympy.abc import x, y, z, a, b, c
from sympy import solve

solve([x+y+z-a, x*y+y*z+x*z-b, x*y*z-c], [x, y, z])

Mathematica worked.

Solve[{x + y + z == a, x y + y z + x z == b, x y z == c}, {x, y, z}]

I do know the answer of this equation, but I was wondering... this
seems to
be a question that should work in sympy because it does not appear too
difficult to me - only polynomials. Any thoughts?
