No, I think that's it...

Then what would be the code? I tried

Solve[{c^2 f, c f^2, 6 c e f + f^3, e f^2, e^2 f} == {a + c^2 d, a^2 + c d^2, a^3 + 6 a b + d^3 + 6 c d e, a^2 b + d^2 e, a b^2 + d e^2}, Integer]

But Mathematica doesn't have a spleen!

Hm... okay, then this is a bit problematic.

So using an alternative method, I got (I think) a smaller system, but with the same number of variables. Is that considered an improvement?

+10.1

Sorry, haven't been keeping up with the "this is cool" feed. But nice job!

It's the cubic formula, so of course it will be large, cumbersome and not very useful...

Cool, you get the cubic formula!

You get that, mostly because

How would you do it without

Never mind, I fixed it by replacing all the capital letters with lower case letters. And placing brackets everywhere.

How would you tell Mathematica to solve this system:

Solve[{-a^2+2 b-3 m x-3 n, b^2-2 a c+2 a^2 m x-4 b m x+3 m x^2+2 a^2 n-4 b n+6 m x n+3 n^2}=={0,0}]

For m and n in terms of a,b,c? I originally thought that you just had to put a comma at the end, then the variable you want, but Mathematica doesn't recognize that.

Actually, do you think they could mean Roman Numerals? Like I=1 and X=10. The only problem with that is that I don't think there's an S symbol for the Roman Numerals.

I realized that there were some certain mistakes while copying and pasting the function. I have now corrected them.

This isn't my input, I just copied and pasted it from the website and I realized it didn't work. But I'm gonna assume that the 30 means something like 30 decimal places.

So you're saying that I cannot use C when setting it equal to some variable?

That should be right...

No thickhead, the book wrote it as
