Yes. That may be a way to reconcile the conflicting views. We may explicitly introduce technical distinction of "analytical fields" and "algebraic fields". Analytical fields are : RR, RDF, RBF, ..., CC Algebraic fields are: AA, QQbar, GF, Qp, ... 1. For an element x in analytical field P, x^(1/n) returns the principal n-th root of x in P or in CC. 2. For an element x in algebraic field A, x^(1/n) returns an n-th root of x in A or raises an error if there is none. and we live happily ever after. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
