Yes, that would be a great idea. I can make that part of #6642. > Does find_root take general symbolic expressions (i.e., x==x^2)? > Yes, but it has different syntax than the other solves - namely, you must specify an interval ahead of time. That being said, you can specify the interval to be -infinity to infinity, but that will not always do so well! For instance, the example you give fails to converge on that interval, while it does on the interval -10 to 10 (on -100 to 100, it gets close to 1.0 but not quite there). - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
