Unless I'm misreading all of the additional roots are for the case where A=0. IOW Wolfram is saying "hey if by any chance A=0 then this would be a quartic and I would know how to get the roots of that". My interpretation then is that if A != 0 so that it's a true quintic then Wolfram can't solve it. -- Oscar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
