While preparing examples with Gaussian Integers for an undergraduate course I discovered this terrible bug:
sage: Zi.<i> = ZZ.extension(x^2+1) sage: (123+456*i)/3 193 I note that the type of Zi here is Order in Number Field in i with defining polynomial x^2 + 1 (not "maximal order" which might be the problem. I was looking for the simplest way to define Z[i], the ring of Gaussian integers, in one line which also assignes the variable i and uses "i" for output, suitable for 2nd year undergraduates who do not know about alegbraic number fields. So I would prefer not to do the following since it is supposed to be an example of a nice ring, not a field sage: Qi.<i> = QuadraticField(-1) sage: (123+456*i)/3 152*i + 41 is fine. But the first way should display the same, which is definitely a BUG. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
