Yes, as you state, we need to have a ring of integers. This is something I'm going to work on this summer. Before I do this, I plan on spending more time with some basic speed benchmarking for number fields. If you want to write a ring of integers class, that would be a welcome contribution. -- 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://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
