Solving a simple equation

[Robert Samal]

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is covered somewhere in the documentation -- but I'm puzzled by the following behaviour of solve:

sage: solve(sin(x)/cos(x)==1,x)
[sin(x) == cos(x)]
sage: solve(tan(x)==1,x)      
[x == 1/4*pi]

I would assume these two equation are equivalent, but evidently sage disagrees. Who is right? :-)
What can I do to get the solution automatically, without substituting tan manually?

Thanks,
 Robert Samal

How about

solve(sin(x)/cos(x)==1,x,to_poly_solve=True)

That gives the general solution, if the z... variable is an integer.
