Dear all, I would like to work with numbers of the form (1+Sqrt(5))/2 in order to work with 600-cell, 120-cell and such kind of polytopes.
Currently such numbers are coded in GAP with cyclotomic extensions, which means that we have no comparison and functions like (1+Sqrt(5))/2 > 30 does not return what I would like. Is there a way to code a real field like Q(Sqrt(5)) in GAP so as to have reliable comparison operator? -- Mathieu Dutour Sikiric Researcher in Mathematics Telephone:.(+385)1 4571 237 and Computer Science Cell Phone: (+385)9 19 36 30 80 Laboratory of satellite oceanography E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rudjer Boskovic Institute http://www.liga.ens.fr/~dutour Zagreb Croatia skype name: mathieudutour _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
