Well, NaN is NaN. -NaN is also NaN, as is I*NaN and NaN+NaN, so this doesn't really matter. Although it would be better if there was a NaN (or bottom) element also in the complex domain; one should at least /print/ NaN rather than NaN +/- I*NaN. -leif -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
