I'm new to sage so sorry if this is a stupid question.
When I try to compute the norm of a complex number Sage doesn't evaluate it:
abs(sqrt(3) + I)
gives the exact same thing ( instead of sqrt(10) ):
abs(sqrt(3) + I)
What am I doing wrong
You can further simplify as follows:
sage: abs(sqrt(3) + I).full_simplify()
2
Or use the norm function:
sage: sqrt(norm(sqrt(3) + I))
