I'm a bit lost on this thread, but I wanted to respond to the binary/multiple file issue. First, it's a fine idea to create a binary Pmesh file format. If we do that, though, let's not rush into it and just "create a binary equivalent of a Pmesh file." If this is really useful, then let's create

[sage-devel] Describing Sage as a Mathematics Computing Environment

2007-12-29 Thread Ted Kosan
I am in the process of putting together some marketing materials for Sage and I need something more descriptive than just calling Sage "math software". Since I started using Sage around a year ago, I have been trying to figure out how to categorize it. I discovered Sage through this Computer Alg

[sage-devel] Re: factor ideals at NF

2007-12-29 Thread David Roe
The issue is that since Sage uses pari to do everything in the background, one needs to create the pari data structures, which means that you currently call nfinit on the number field, which computes the class group and unit group. This should change eventually, but right now... David On Dec 29,

2007-12-29 Thread Enrique Gonzalez-Jimenez
As John Cremona said at the sage.forum: "But why would Sage be computing the class group in order to factor 2 in K?" For me that is strange too. Since it would be easier to compute the factorization of an ideal generate by a prime. For example: Using the Proposition that asserts that if K is a

It presumably can't compute the class group, because of the proof=true thing. Basically if you want a proven result, it is going to take forever and will need more primes than Pari has precomputed. It's not clear to me if SAGE is actually catching the error message, or if it is just raising an ex

[sage-devel] 2.9.2 release cycle started, a perspective on the 2.10 release

2007-12-29 Thread mabshoff
Hello folks, I more or less wasted the last 2.5 days on a Cygwin port of Sage 2.9.1.1. I fixed many bugs & build issues, but in the end something odd prevented me from importing any of the sage modules. I blogged about the details [which are on planet Sage right now], so no point in bitching and

Hello everyone, I'm forwarding a conversation I had yesterday with Ondrej Certik. I didn't change anything (wouldn't make any sense I think). It's just some things I'd like to know, and probably everybody's busy, so I apologize for the time taken. Thanks in advance. Best wishes, Fabio --

Hello, I'm having trouble implementing arithmetic for BooleanMonomials, which are elements of a monoid. Multiplication of BooleanMonomials work fine using the coercion model, but the following doesn't work, since there is no coercion from ZZ to BooleanMonomialMonoid. sage: P. = BooleanPolynomia
