Thanks very much; even though I made the original post in confusion, I had been wondering how to do this in Sage. I had expected to find would be a top-level command for it. I'll revise the list of number-theoretic functions I posted last week to include exact_log as a Sage analogue of Maple's ilog. regards, Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
