Uhm, I have asked the originator to join the thread. The first one, I is not a symbolic variable, it is sqrt(-1). I am not sure what something like "integers with I adjoined" is? The second is not a real field, it is the complex field? regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
