Yes, you're right. git master shows: In [3]: Matrix([[y, 0], [0, z]]).eigenvals() Out[3]: {y: 1, z: 1} And also: In [8]: (M - x*eye(2)).det() Out[8]: 2 x - x⋅y - x⋅z + y⋅z In [9]: solve((M - x*eye(2)).det(), x) Out[9]: [y, z] Thanks for that, Oscar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
