Comment #1 on issue 1520 by wflynny: Inconsistency in subs http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1520
As you said, Mathematica does not match non-existent symbols. In[1]:= x*y /. (2*x) -> 2 Out[1]= x y In[4]:= x*y /. 2 x -> 2 Out[4]= x y Neither does Maxima: (%i4) subst(2,2*x,x*y); (%o4) x*y At the moment, these are the only two CASs I have but I'm downloading some more. Personally, I say we follow these two. Subs needs limits and this seems like a good place to stop. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
