2008-09-01 Thread John Cremona
One possible source of confusion here is that pari's (and gp's) precision parameters refer to numbers of decimal digits, while Sage's (as in RealField(prec)) refer to bits. The first is about 0.301 times the second, i.e. log_10(2). Moreover, pari only increases its precision in steps of between

Thanks Vincent for the information. One reason I am choosing not to use povray is the license, which I believe is not compatible with inclusion in Sage. Btw, the tachyon raytracer does seem to have good multicore support dy default. Unfortunately it cannot animate. I wish we had someone who c

I have just glimpsed over the code. But maybe it is worth stating in the comments, that the reduce impl. only returns unqiue answer against strong Gröbner basis. Gröbner basis G of I <=> the leading ideal of G generates all leading terms of I strong % of I <=> for every leading term t of I there
