Hi group,
I think there is a problem with Reduce (using v4.0.0.0),
define
a = Exp[ I Pi/3];
b = Exp[-I Pi/3];
p1 = -x + y + z;
p2 = x + a y + b z;
p3 = x + b y + a z;
now try to find {x,y,z} in terms of {p1,p2,p3}, but
Reduce[p1 == q1 && p2 == q2 && p3 == q3, {x, y, z}]
gives False, although there is a solution (that can be found with Solve)
Anyone had a similar problem ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Cheers,
Eduardo
