Abstractly speaking, yes, RR^2 is a group. But on a computer you need
to specify what the notations are for the operations
Anyone understand the behavior
sage: RR^2 in Groups()
False
Certainly (RR^2,+) should be a group. I tried to construct
GL(2,RR) semidirect RR^2
and found the above behavior.
Generally how does one handle the notational difference
between additive and multiplicative groups?
I just want to deal
