Revision history [back]

The assume function doesn't work with symbolic functions.

I think the command assume(Q>0) should raise an exception (it doesn't right now obviously). If you look at the documentation for assume you'll see that all the examples involve symbolic variables only.

On the other hand, the type of Q in your example is sage.symbolic.expression.Expression so maybe this is supposed to work and you've found a bug. I'll dig deeper and see what I can find.
