Re: [sage-support] elliptic curve extension degree

It's my fault as I wrote the code. if the given degree d fails the test d>1 then it's assumed to be 1 (even if d<0!!). As William says, raising an error would be better, so this should be fixed. John On Friday, March 23, 2012 6:08:36 PM UTC, Ken Ribet wrote: > > On Thursday, March 22, 2012 2:

Consider this short sage transcript: sage: E=EllipticCurve(GF(3),[1,1]) sage: for i in range(3): ... print i,E.order(extension_degree=i) 0 4 1 4 2 16 Sage seem to think that E has 4 points over the field with 1 element. Was this intended? Ken -- To post to this group, send email to sag
