I'd like to have the result of a sage calculation somehow remain as an irrational fraction. Specifically, here I'm calculating the eigenvalues of the matrix who's powers generate the fibonacci numbers: sage: m=matrix(2,2,[0,1,1,1]);m [0 1] [1 1] sage: m.eigenvalues () [-0.618033988749895?, 1.618033988749895?]
I'd LOVE to be able to somehow get the more meaningful value of which contains the 1+/-sqrt(5) form: sage: n=(1+sqrt(5))/2;n 1/2*sqrt(5) + 1/2 sage: N(n) 1.61803398874989 Is there some way I can ask for the eigenvalues (or any other roots) in such a format? [This is pretty noob, I realize, but I tried several searches, and even found golden-ratio, but couldn't figure out how to achieve the desired result of not evaluating irrationals] Thanks!
