solve(erf(x) == erf(y), x)[0].simplify_full()
Actual output: x == inverse_erf(erf(y))
Expected output: x == y
I had expected that sage would trivially reduce `inverse_erf(erf(y))` to `y`.
2) This output references 'inverse_erf', which doesn't seem to be importable t from anywhere in sage. Am I correct?

My concrete problem is re-deriving the formula for the normal-distribution cdf. I get a good solution from sage, but fail in showing that it's equivalent to a known solution because:
var('x sigma mu')
assume(sigma > 0)
eq3 = (-erf((sqrt(2)*mu - sqrt(2)*x)/(2*sigma)) == -erf((sqrt(2)*(mu - x))/(2*sigma)))
bool(eq3)
Actual output: False
Expected output: True
However this quite similar formula works fine:
eq3 = (-erf(sqrt(2)*mu - sqrt(2)*x) == -erf(sqrt(2)*(mu - x)))
bool(eq3)
Output: True
