Is there a way to save an equation to an expression variable without having it being evaluated first?
For example, I have an equation y = x^2 + 2 * x^2 in a string variable call eqstr, to save it to
an expression variable eqexpr, I wrote: expr(eqstr) -> eqexpr. But now eqexpr contains y = 3 * x^2
instead of y = x^2 + 2 * x^2.

I know the numeric solver can do this, but don't know if it can be done in TI-Basic. If anybody has any idea,
please let me know. Thanks for your help. BTW, I'm programming for the the TI-89 Titanium.

The only way to avoid simplification is to keep it stored as a string. What precisely do you need the unsimplified version of the expression for?
