I am having performance problems when using SAGE matrices with Cyclotomic Fields. Processing in GAP appears almost instant, whereas the similar computation takes of the order of a minute in SAGE. Am I missing something?
Sage: F.<s>=CyclotomicField(29) m=[] n=20 for i in range(n): row=[] for j in range(n): row.append(s**(i*j)) m.append(row) mat=matrix(m) print mat.det() GAP: n:=20; m:=List([1..n],i->List([1..n],j->E(29)^(i*j))); Print(Determinant(m),"\n"); I am new to Sage and still find negotiating the documentation tricky. Where, for example, might I find a list of methods corresponding to class matrix?
