MathAction #213 No equality of operators which use dummy variables

Topics

Unfortunately, axiom fails to recognize equality of some expressions like in

axiom

x:=sum(1/i,i=1..m)/sum(1/i,i=1..m)

$\label{eq1}1$

Type: Expression(Integer)

The reason is that the internal representation is different:

axiom

map(argument, kernels x)

$\label{eq2}\left[ \right]$

Type: List(List(Expression(Integer)))

Another fix that was not too difficult. Fortunately, there is a property %specialEqual just intended for this purpose...
