# Revision history [back]

If you are trying to solve symbolic equations (that is, with symbolic coefficients), it is likely that we are using Maxima, and that certainly will take a while for a fairly large one - if there is a solution it can find. You may want to check the documentation for

sage: x.solve?


for more information on some keywords that may also help, such as to_poly_solve. See this Trac ticket for a request to enhance the documentation of the global solve function so you guys know it's there!

At the same time, if you have things over a specific ring, especially if you are looking for approximate solutions, there are many methods to do this, though I am not sure about the commands for nonlinear systems. More details about your problem would help.

In your problem would specific case, even with to_poly_solve=True, we get (in Maxima):

(%i14) to_poly_solve([eq1,eq2,eq3,eq4,eq5,eq6,eq7,eq8,eq9,eq10],[a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j]);

algsys: tried and failed to reduce system to a polynomial in one variable; give up.


I think you can set the recursion depth higher, but I don't think that will help. Maxima's solve capabilities are decent, but not overwhelming, so perhaps this example is just one it can't do. I do note that e==e^2 usually just has two solutions, so maybe there are similar simplifications you can do? Sorry I can't be of more help.
