What motivated my question was the following problem. I have a
polynomial f(x,y) with algebbraic coeffcients. If i fix a value for x,
the roots of f as a polynomial in y are algebraic numbers. By the
implicit function theorem, around each pair (x,y) i have a function,
and i need its taylor expansion. That means i need to take the
derivatives of this function using implicit derivation. That's why i
wanted to move algebraic numbers from a polynomial ring to the
symbolic ring and back.
