The `N[]` function from mathematica is being overwritten by
`numerical_approx`. There seems to be no other way to call `N[]` on an
existing mathematica object, so this is a problem.
One way to solve this would be to make mathematica functions take
precedence over all or most Sage methods. To call a Sage method one
would/should/could use `.sage().whichever_method()`
