Hello, William by the way, what do you think about using in SAGE both double and multiple precision versions of ALGLIB? I have fully functional multiple precision version of ALGLIB which relies on MPFR for floating point computations. It includes multiple precisionlinear algebra,

[sage-devel] Bug or feature?

2010-05-08 Thread Simon King
Hi! I wonder whether the following is a bug or a feature: sage: P. = QQ[] sage: R = CC.extension(x^3+x^2+1,'a'); R Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in a over Complex Field with 53 bits of precision with modulus a^3 + a^2 + 1.00 Even though CC is algebraically complete, it is

The documentation for extension says that K.extension(f) creates and returns K[x]/(f), which in this case would be an algebra , isomorphic to CC\osum CC\osum CC. I have no problem with that in principle, though the documentation could be clearer. John On 8 May 2010 11:15, Simon King wrote: > H

[sage-devel] Reviews needed in Graph Theory

2010-05-08 Thread Nathann Cohen
Hello everybody !!! :-) There are several tickets needing review in Graph Theory at the moment... Some of them only take several lines, fixe a bug or docstrings, some are bigger... The problem is that times goes by, patches too, and as many of them overlap it grows quickly very hard to rebase them
