Hi all, Happy new year!
I am interested in trying to recreate a numerical experiment from the end of William Stein's talk on sato tate convergence <http://wstein.org/talks/20071016-convergence/>. The details are in this public sage worksheet <https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/e1c3e3c5-3723-436b-bf8f-a3c09f35d685/files/2017-01-19%20R_E%20test%202.sagews>, but the gist of my problem is that I have tried to calculate values of Stein's R_E(C) function, and am getting negative values for certain inputs. Stein immediately calculates the logarithm of these values, and after seeing this, surely I have made a mistake because the usual logarithm function is not defined for negative input (although I suppose Stein could have used the complex logarithm, but it doesn't look like that to me). I would really love any advice on how I could move forward trying to run his experiments for myself. Further, in the spirit of the new year, I will include a neat factoid with my post, completely irrelevant from my problem: 2017 is the first integer whose cube root's first ten digits are unique: 2017^(1/3) = 12.63480759... --Christian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-nt" group.
