2011-04-02 09:42:50 +0200	asked a question	unable to numerically solve an equation (basic question) Hello, I make my first steps with sage and already run into a problem I was not able to solve. When I enter the following: `reset() var('x') eqn=x^2+3*x-9==0 sol=solve(eqn,x,solution_dict=true) sol[x].n(30)` I get the following error message: The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (12, 0)) TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/.../sage-4.6.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/all_cmdline.pyc in <module>() /home/.../sage-4.6.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/misc/preparser.pyc in load(filename, globals, attach) <br> 1594 execfile(fpath, globals)<br> 1595 elif fpath.endswith('.sage'):<br> -> 1596 exec(preparse_file(open(fpath).read()) + "\n", globals)<br> 1597 elif fpath.endswith('.spyx') or fpath.endswith('.pyx'):<br> 1598 import interpreter<br> /home/.../sage-4.6.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/all_cmdline.pyc in <module>() /home/.../sage-4.6.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/symbolic/expression.so in sage.symbolic.expression.Expression.__index__ (sage/symbolic/expression.cpp:16771)() /home/.../sage-4.6.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/symbolic/expression.so in sage.symbolic.expression.Expression._integer_ (sage/symbolic/expression.cpp:4254)() TypeError: unable to convert x (=x) to an integer I added the "..." manually for this post. Obviously I make a severe problem in getting the numerical solution of this simple equation. Maybe you can help me in getting a numerical solution for an equation. Btw. I get the same error message when I try the example given in the sage tutorial on page 14 ([[s[p].n(30),.....) Thanks in advance!
