>> sage: plot(x^2*log(x,2)-1, 0,2) [nice plot so you can understand what is going on]
sage: find_root(x^2*log(x,2)-1,1, 2) 1.4142135623730951 << Hi, I'm trying out SAGE for the first time, so I entered what you suggested (see above). Now, from the plot, it there seems to be no other roots between 0 and 2 so I entered sage: find_root(x^2*log(x,2)-1,0, 2) and got the root = 0.0 what am I missing here? TIA, AJG A.
