Interesting experiment. Your methodology for "diffs back" assumes correctly computing the derivative and correctly comparing symbolic expressions and for the latter counterexamples are known [1]
bool( sqrt((a+b)^2) == sqrt(a^2) + sqrt(b^2) ) True btw, I get: 'sage.rings.complex_interval.ComplexIntervalFieldElement' object has no attribute 'cot' when trying your |check| on this: -arctan(cot(pi*x))/pi + 1/2 #fractional part of x [1] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mathematics.sage.support/32115 On Wed, Sep 04, 2013 at 10:01:07AM -0700, Peter Luschny wrote: > Recently two integration test suites were discussed at sci.math.symbolic > [1], [2]. > > I executed the tests with Sage and put the results on my webpage [3]. > Not all results are favorable for Sage.
