I wish to work with matrices whose entries are ring variables (nothing funky, PolynomialRing(QQ, 100, 'x').gens() is what I am trying). However, Sage complains that the entries can't be non-constant polynomials. How do I circumvent this issue? I only plan to analyse the determinant of a specific kind of matrix. Based on this information, feel free to offer alternatives with more restricted functionality than just a matrix. Thank you!

I wish to work with matrices whose entries are ring variables (nothing funky, PolynomialRing(QQ, 100, 'x').gens() is what I am trying). I create a matrix.zero(n,n) for reasonable n (currently just 3) and then try to alter each entry manually. However, Sage complains that the entries can't be non-constant polynomials.

So I tried to provide the ring above as an argument by writing matrix.zero(R, n,n), but this generated the error

TypeError: unbound method Parent.category() needs an argument

I wish to work with matrices whose entries are multivariate polynomial ring variables (nothing funky, funky with the base ring, R = PolynomialRing(QQ, 100, 'x').gens() is what I am trying).

I am using Sagemath 10.

I have also tried using M=MatrixSpace(R,n,n); M(L) where L is a list of appropriate design. It still complains about getting non-constant polynomial entries.
