which is correct, if one simplifies 1/2+(-27/2+3/2*sqrt(93))^(-1)-1/18*sqrt(93) to 1
This is already way cool, isn't it? But, to "simplify" is not well-defined. Such computations should not be done automatically at the level of the anonymous avaluator (i.e. classwhatever::eval()).
[...] Oops, I just realized that this particular case above is even more trivial and what I wrote doesn't apply to it yet. Simply calling normal() will get the job done, since there is only one sqrt() in there. Regards -richy. -- Richard B.
