Axiom represents square roots by a mixture of ascii symbols which are supposed to approximate the square root sign, so that sqrt(2)+sqrt(3) looks like
+-+ +-+
\|3 + \|2
(You'll need to view the above in a monospaced font). And n-th roots are even worse: 2^(1/3)+3^(1/4) comes out as
4+-+ 3+-+
\|3 + \|2
This is just ugly. Other CAS's in console mode would simply write
1/2 1/2
2 + 3
or more simply
sqrt(2)+sqrt(3)
Can axiom, be coerced to represent n-th and square roots in one of these simpler forms?
