Hi, I cannot figure out how to force sage to construct a ring as a multivariate ring with only a single generator. In the past, I used MPolynomialRing to force multi-variate implementation, but that is now deprecated.
Specifically, the output below really bugs me. I had code relying on features in the multi-variate implementation, but sage magically created a univariate ring when I just happened to have a single variable (and thus a single-ton list). # 3.0.3 sage: PolynomialRing(QQ,names=['Y1']) Univariate Polynomial Ring in Y1 over Rational Field sage: PolynomialRing(QQ,names=['Y1','Y2']) Multivariate Polynomial Ring in Y1, Y2 over Rational Field Is this a bug or a feature? Clearly, I think it's a bug :). Of course, I'd also be happy if the univariate and multivariate implementation were much more consistent. It always seemed to me that these implementations got continually out-of-sync with each other as features got put into one implementation and didn't always get implemented in others. This is something that the review process should find and point out. -- Joel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
