HI I was asking myself this question and couldn't find an answer in the documentation, not in past posts (which is how I found this email). So I re-ask the question is there a way to have finite field elements printed as powers of the primitive element? Thanks Mike On Saturday, October 31, 2

After I start sage, apache is running, so it appear that sage starts apache. In any case, I still don't understand what the problem is with the server. Mike On Thursday, July 26, 2012 9:40:24 PM UTC-7, Dima Pasechnik wrote: > > IMHO, Sage does not use apache at all. It runs its own webserver,

I'd like to set up a sage notebook server at my campus. Since this is beyond my expertise, I asked the College IT specialists to handle it. Of course, they are very concerned about vulnerabilities, so they will only allow access from on campus. We browsed some of the available information and mos

[sage-support] quotient of a permutation group

2012-02-01 Thread Mike OS
I'm digging through the documentation on quotients, and Rob Beezer's sage code in Judson's book. For G a permutation group and N a normal subgroup, it appears that H= G.quotient(N) returns a permutation group, but not the natural homomorphism from G to H. Also I cant coerce an element of G into H

Why does sage handle the two examples: 2^(1/3) and 2^(1/2) differently? I'm trying to understand when the are considered equal, as opposed to just isomorphic. On Jan 31, 8:47 am, Jeroen Demeyer wrote: > You are probably looking for > > sage: K.is_isomorphic(K1) > True > > The equality test == a
