Hi Mike, Thanks for your feedback. Pity, I thought I omitted something obvious. For some reason, Mathematica and Maple seem to do better at solving such equations, even though the results can become a bit convoluted. Sometimes, SAGE manages to solve an equation if it is re-formulated in a differ

Hi Stan, I don't think there is any other way to solve an equation such as that in Sage. You can do it using Sage's interface to Maple (if you have it installed / access to it), but it's not as clean as it should be due to bug #3610. sage: var('wcnew,epsln,ysnew,delyu,sumsunew,sunlayersnew,dely
