If anything, I think there should be a lot more objects like Primes, e.g., sets like this for primes in number fields, prime ideals of commutative rings, etc. Would you like to "get rid" of the idea of "the set of primes" from mathematics even though you can do all mathematics with just the ideas of "prime", "primality checking" and "intervals of primes"? -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
