I would like to say, I leave this to you as an exercise. ;-) Of course, conversion can "somehow" be done. For PrimeField the conversion is quite natural, but how would you convert between the integers 0,1,2,3 and the elements of FiniteField(2,2)? (339) -> FF ==> FiniteField(2,2) (340) -> a1 := 1$FF (340) 1 (341) -> a2 := a1+a1 (341) 0 (342) -> a3 := a1+a1+a1 (342) 1 Hmmmm... isn't that strange? ;-) Ralf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
