Here is the root problem, which I think illustrates some unintended consequences. Changes at #10627 make possible things like printing a matrix with -, 0, + if the entries are negative, zero or positive. Which is a very nice thing to have. You can also specify a translation dictionary between

It can also be very expensive to test elements of QQbar for equality. John On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 11:39 AM, Dima Pasechnik dimp...@gmail.com wrote: On Jun 25, 7:15 am, Rob Beezer goo...@beezer.cotse.net wrote: I've seen sporadic hangs when working with matrices of algebraic numbers.
