Hi Monks I'm trying to solve this problem. I want to solve a set of equations. It was an easy task if I got the equations in the next format:
2x1+3x2-7x3+7x5 = 7;
at this case I can turn them into a vector like this: 

[-7,2,3,-7,0,7]

and to read set of those using Math::Matrix.

The problem starts when I'm dealing with complex expression for example:
3*x+(3*a)*sin(y+w)+12z = 5
at this case it is very hard to build a suitable vector and therefore hard to use Math::Matrix.

does any of you monks have a clue or ever encountered such a problem.
Thanks in advance.
Michael
