I created a finite field Fq.<a> = GF(3^10)
there is a symbolic expression, for example, ex = (2*a^9 + 2*a^8 + a^4 +1)/(a^5+2*a+2) and we have type(ex) = <type 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'> how can we convert the symbolic expression ex so that it is evaluated as an element in Fq, That is, eval = a^9 + a^8 + a^7 + a^5 + 2*a^4 + a^3 + 2*a^2 + 2*a such that type(eval) = <type 'sage.rings.finite_rings.element_givaro.FiniteField_givaroElement'>? I tried to use AA(ex) and algebraic(ex, Fq), but they both gave errors. Please help. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
