Thanks -- I just posted this... That said, what happens when you try the original persons code is basically best described as a litany of bugs... Sage doesn't support relative extensions of finite fields really. (It would be nice if it did, but it doesn't.) One can find the roots at least in an absolute field, as follows: F.<alpha> = GF(3^6) R.<x> = PolynomialRing(F) f = x^3+2*x+1 f.roots() output: [(2*alpha^5 + 2*alpha^4, 1), (2*alpha^5 + 2*alpha^4 + 2, 1), (2*alpha^5 + 2*alpha^4 + 1, 1)] https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/4a5f0542-5873-4eed-a85c-a18c706e8bcd/files/support/2015-03-30-112034-root-stack-overflow.sagews -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
