Yes, I like that - I need to learn about "lift" and "parent". -A. On Dec 12, 9:44 pm, daveloeffler wrote: > You can also do the following: > > M = random_matrix(IntegerModRing(10), 3, 3) > Madj = M.parent() (M.lift().adjoint()) > > In other words, we lift M to a matrix over ZZ, compute its adjo

I thought I'd try to install Sage on an external disk, but I ran into two problems: the hard disk file system doesn't support symbolic links, and my laptop's distribution (Suse 9.3) is too old to compile Sage. So until I get around to upgrading my laptop or its software (which I'm loathe to do,

Many thanks for an incredibly fast response. I am very impressed! Sorry about my confusing reference to incorrect old md5sums. They are all indeed correct. I perhaps should have just said they appeared to be in the wrong place. Regards Dave On Dec 12, 3:23 pm, mabshoff wrote: > On Dec 12, 7:

You can also do the following: M = random_matrix(IntegerModRing(10), 3, 3) Madj = M.parent() (M.lift().adjoint()) In other words, we lift M to a matrix over ZZ, compute its adjoint and reduce it mod 10 again (by "coercing it into the parent of M" in sage- speak). David On Dec 12, 12:20 am, Ala
