[sage-support] numerical approximation in sage.

Hello. In the tutorials there is an example for numerical approximation: var('x y p q') (x, y, p, q) eq1 = p+q==9 eq2 = q*y+p*x==-6 eq3 = q*y^2+p*x^2==24 solns = solve([eq1,eq2,eq3,p==1],p,q,x,y, solution_dict=True) [[s[p].n(30), s[q].n(30), s[x].n(30), s[y].n(30)] for s in solns] [[1.000, 8.

My question is about the syntax and why does this syntax give a numerical approximation. To my understanding, solns is contracted from two arrays with p,q,x,y being the keys (because there are two solutions to the equations set). The part "for s in solns" is putting in s ab array, and the part s[

Hi, This is an unavoidable consequence of using Maxima's solve commands, I think - with multiple equations, Maxima's solve uses things like algsys, if I'm not mistaken, and those return "real" solutions if they can't find "symbolic" ones. With one equation the (new) behavior is to not do this aut
