Dear Sir,
How abstract can Mathematica deal with symbolic operation?
Given a system of n equations without giving n any number,
such as
q1 = q1 + q2 + q3 + ... + qn
q2 = q1 + q2 + q3 + ... + qn
q3 = q1 + q2 + q3 + ... + qn
...
...
qN = q1 + q2 + q3 + ... + qn
We know the answer of above system should be
q1 = q2 = q3 = ... = qn = 0
Can Mathematica solve this kind of abstract symbolic problems by
the following similar methods without giving n any specific number?
Solve[ {eq1==0, eq2==0, ... , eq[n]==0}, {var1, var2, ... , var[n]} ]
Thank you!
