[sage-support] rational function arithmetic

2010-05-05 Thread Matt Bainbridge
Hi there, I wrote a sage program which does a lot of arithmetic in the field of rational functions Frac(Q[x,y,z]). The problem is that sage doesn't check for common divisors of the numerator and denominator, so after doing a lot of arithmetic operations, I end up with rational functions whose num
