I have looked over the patch. It is very good. I'm reviewing it now to
determine what more to add to your patch so as to pre

Would you upload a patch
to the trac server to improve that documentation? If so, please CC me
on the relevant ticket and I'd be more than happy to review your
patch.
I have opened ticket 8825 and attached a patch. It is a very small
change, and by no means
To summarize:
What is norm for number theorists, is pathology to the ordinary folks!

there is an alternative definition of norm used in number theory.
Here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_norm
Thanks. Now I learned something new.
The norm on complex numbers is no

Hi Johan,
2010/4/27 Johan Grönqvist:
The current documentation of norm() on complex numbers can be accessed
from the Sage website [1]. That documentation leaves much to be
desired, even though it makes the distinction between the complex norm
and the absolut

I'm used to the number-theoretic norm too, so I wasn't so worried
about it. I would point out that having "native" support of Gaussian
integers/primes would be very convenient for educational purposes (for

also not for these guys

There is abs() function which behaves likes Norm of Mathematica. I
think that the function names of sage are more appropriate.
