Hi, this might be a duplicate (sorry) but I could not find this issue described anywhere else. I have been running the code
k=1.0 (I*k/(2*pi*5))^(6/2) and got the result (1.00000046096651e-4294967297*I)/pi^3 This is clearly way too small, adding CC(...) to get a numerical value does not resolve the problem. However, simply replacing 6/2 by 3 yields the correct result: (I*k/(2*pi*5))^(3) result: -0.00100000000000000*I/pi^3 Did I make some stupid and obvious error or is this just a strange bug ? I am using sage 8.6 (jupyter notebook) on a linux computer (Centos 7, 64 bit). I tried these code snippets on cocalc and ran into the same problems. Friends of mine have also reported the problem on sage 8.8. Thanks a lot, Florian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
