[sage-devel] Implementing numerator and denominator for multivariate polynomials [with patch]

2009-07-09 Thread luisfe
Hi, Some days ago I sent a bug report using the notebook link to the google docs form. I am unable to find that bug report on the web. Anyway as the thing is trivial I wrote a patch myself. The problem is that multivariate polynomials do not admit numerator and denominator sage: K.=QQ['x,y'] s

I can see another problem here.One could argue that the denominator of (x+y)/2 was 2 while you code gives 1. So the documentation needs to be very clear, stating that the denominator of ever polynomial in any number of variables over a field is always 1. John 2009/7/9 luisfe : > > Hi, > > S
