Re: [sage-support] Units Package Simplification in Exponentiation/Powers
sage: (a^3)^(1/3) 5*(meter^3)^(1/3) does not produce the expected units of meter. Is there a means to force further simplification? You could try sage: m = units.length.meter sage: assume(m 0) sage: (5*m)^3 125*meter^3 sage: ((5*m)^3)^(1/3) 5*(meter^3)^(1/3) sage: simplify(((5*m)^3)^(1/3)) 5*meter Doug, who likes his Yankee friends but insists that 'meter' is a device which measures ;-) -- Department of Earth Sciences University of Hong Kong -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
[sage-support] Units Package Simplification in Exponentiation/Powers
I'm trying to use the Sage units package and cannot get expected simplifications with things more complicated than +, -, /, *. For example: sage: a=5*units.length.meter sage: sqrt(a^2) 5*sqrt(meter^2) even though I would expect units of simply meter. If I try to convert the result to units.length.meter, I receive ValueError: Incompatible Units. Similarly sage: (a^3)^(1/3) 5*(meter^3)^(1/3) does not produce the expected units of meter. Is there a means to force further simplification? -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
