There are some members of mathgroup who seem to believe that when solving equations using Solve, Mathematica assumes that the variables are real or complex numbers, or that it uses limits (in other words, assumes a topology) or that -> means "gets closer and closer to". I suggest these persons consider the example I have constructed just for them: In[1]:=Solve[(x-"dog")*(x-"cat"),x] Out[1]:={{x->cat},{x->dog}} Please note that "dog" and "cat" are strings, not symbols!
