Is there a way to have Sage recognize that e^(2/3) times e^(1/3) in the below will simplify to just the variable e. Is there a type that can handle this? Obviously using a PolynomialRing in the code below won't work.
R.<a,e> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
p1 = (a+e^(1/3))
p2 = e^(2/3)
p1*p2Do you mean something like this?
sage: var('a,e')
(a, e)
sage: p1 = (a+e^(1/3))
sage: p2 = e^(2/3)
sage: p1*p2
(a + e^(1/3))*e^(2/3)
sage: expand(_)
a*e^(2/3) + eIn general, unless you intend to work specifically with polynomials in an abstract algebraic sense, just use these "symbolic variables".
