2011-09-04 05:56:41 +0200 asked a question 4-Digit Rounding Arithmetic:System of Equations

I am given this system of equations:

1.130x - 6.990y = 14.20 1.013x - 6.099y = 14.22

In sage I input sage: y = var("y") sage: solve ([1.130x + 6.990y == 14.20, ... etc ], x,y ) it spits out 4264/63, 1684/189 for x,y I now input sage: round((4264.0/63.0), 4) --> for x and same thing for y, using 1684.0 / 189.0. Giving me 8.9101, yet this answer seems to be wrong. My question is where can I found out how to do 4 digit rounding arithmetic using sage? or Am I doing something wrong with the code.

coming in clutch kcrisman! Ty man. I think I figured it out now!

2010-12-08 01:01:39 +0200 asked a question Abstract Algrebra

My teacher gave us an extra credit problem using sage, I am having soo much trouble just trying to get started and was hoping for any sort of help possible. Heres the question: An element a in Z mod n is a square if there is some b element of Z mod n such that a^2 = b. Find the number of squares in Z mod p^(n). Would the code look something like this:

for p^2 = b, let p be prime:

print modulo(Integer(Z): .... This is my first time ever using a computer program. Sage seems very powerful and I expect to use it more during my school break, but if anyone can help me now, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!!

I think I am going down the right path. Any input would be nice.

Jason and Kcrisman, thank you for your reply, help and suggestions. Here is what I have been doing: sage: for n in [1..100]: ....: print mod(factorial(n-1), n) ....: 0 1 2 2 4 0 6 0 0 0 10 0 12 0 0 0 16 0 18 0 0 0 22 0 0 0 0 0 28 0 30 0 0 0 0 0 36 0 0 0 40 0 42 0 0 0 46 0 0 0 0 0 52 0 0 0 0 0 58 0 60 0 0 0 0 0 66 0 0 0 70 0 72 0 0 0 0 0 78 0 0 0 82 0 0 0 0 0 88 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 96 0 0 0

2010-11-09 15:58:58 +0200 asked a question Modular Arithmetic Question using Sage

Hey forumgoers, just have a question using Sage. I am having trouble with a few questions asked to me, heres the questions, how do can you compute (n-1)! mod n for n < 100. Find a formula relating the number of idempotents in Zsubn with the number of distinct prime factors that n has.

An element a in Z(subn) is a square if there is some b element of Z(subn) such that a^2=b. Find the number of squares in Z(sub p^n).
