Respected Prof. John Cremona, Thanks for your reply. But please explain me the following - 1) Why the roots are given as a 2-tuple and why 1 is appearing always as the second coordinate ? What does 1 signify here ? 2) What does " *I " mean in " sage: f.roots(CC) " ? Regards, Suman

This is a pari question which should be addressed to the pari-users list. It has nothing to do with Sage, though both Sage and pari have the same elliptic curve database as optional extras. If you do want to search for elliptic curves in Sage, then installing pari extras is irrelevant, you need t

How can I use "ellsearch" on the sage notebook online? It says it needs the elldata0 package. I cannot install anything on the computer since I don't have the permission. I have PARI installed on my personal laptop and I installed elldata0 on it, but when I am at work I don't have it. -- You re

There does not seem to be a function returning the splitting field of a reducible polynomial. For irreducible f you can do this: sage: Zx. = ZZ[] sage: f = x^3-2 sage: K. = f.root_field() sage: K Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2 sage: L. = K.galois_closure(); L Number Field in
