You need 6.2. The splitting field functionality was only added since 6.1.1:
sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ) sage: sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 + 2) sage: sage: S.<t> = PolynomialRing(K) sage: sage: L.<b> = (t^2 - a).splitting_field() sage: L Number Field in b with defining polynomial t^6 + 2 On 18 May 2014 19:27, <nt.a.am1...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've downloaded and installed the sage 6.1.1.
