I have some integer matrices, and I am interested in their behaviour mod p^2
. I have declared variables using
var('p a11 a12 a13, ...')
etc, and after multiplying my matrices I am left with some very messy entries, involving lots of p^2,p^3,...
terms. Since I only care about behaviour mod p^2
, I would like Sage to just ignore those higher order terms. I feel like there must be an easy way to do this, but I don't know what it is. Any help would be much appreciated!
