If you want to deal with square roots in this case using some bogus relationship between the choice of branch and some alleged internal "sign", I suppose that is your choice. If it were mathematically meaningful to do so, it would generalize to say, cube roots, don't you think? What you've written is just a hack. Not that maxima's general simplifier inspires confidence. Maybe consult someone who has taken college courses in complex variables, conformal mapping, and modern algebra. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
