Great, thanks! This is the sort of thing I was trying, but I wasn't
handling the indentation correctly. Perhaps y'all can help me with a
related issue. I'd like my abstract algebra students to use Sage to
do some computations involving the group of units mod n. I've been
fiddling around myself first. Suppose I do the following in Sage:
U=Integers(40)
for j in range(1,16):
for k in range(1,40):
if gcd(k,40) == 1:
print (U(k))^j
As expected, I get a really long list of values. Is there a way to
chop this up in a way that would be palatable to my students? I want
them to do some exploring of orders of elements and I know there are
commands that will just give them the answers I seek, but I want them
to be able to interpret the data. Any suggestions?
