Unfortunately, I think you can't. You'll have to make a list v of the entries, then do A = matrix(n,v) Regarding random_matrix, if you do random_matrix(K,...) where K is a field, then each element of the matrix is computed by calling K.random_element, so you should see the docs on K.random_element.
