I find this very confusing: sage: F.<a> = QuadraticField(-5) sage: F.ideal(6) Fractional ideal (6) of Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 + 5
sage: QQ.ideal(6) Principal ideal (1) of Rational Field This means that if I write code that can work over an arbitrary number field, I have to write special cases for Q. I think it's a bad idea to use the name "ideal" for the method that gives an ideal of the ring of integers. I think we should give this a different name. Any thoughts? david --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
