Dear Sage developers, the current version 2.5.2 of the flint library doesn't use enough floating point precision in _arith_bernoulli_number_zeta(). This causes bernoulli(250408) to be incorrect. Since Sage uses flint as the default algorithm for n<=30 the error affects Sage and can be obser

O.K. It seems there is some functionality for positive definite lattices in https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15976 and it hides in the sage source :). However I could not find anything for Indefinite "lattices". On Tuesday, September 6, 2016 at 11:20:55 AM UTC+2, Simon Brandhorst wrote: > > Dea

Hi, did you have a look at this page ? http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html There are indications for debian derivatives (e.g. Mint, Ubuntu) and redhat derivatives, which should cover a large part of the 10 most popular distros. Ciao, Thierry On Tue, Sep 06, 2016 at 10:08
