Hello, sage: A = matrix([[1, 0.106, 1.212], [3.8759765625, 0.04801171875, : 3.972], [3.0625, 0.09325, 3.249]]) sage: A.rank() 3 sage: A.det() 0.000 Though sage computes the rank to be 3, the determinant is negligible. Mathematica says the rank of this matrix is 2, and that its det

> Thus (0,0,0) is the unique solution of your system. Uh... not quite 'Thus'. The system in fact has an infinite number of unique solutions, as the original poster pointed out. Though I don't know why sage converges on [0,0,0]. Also just because a second sage method gives the same result as the fi
