Number field operations

number_field(f::Poly{NumFieldElem}, s::String;
            cached::Bool = false, check::Bool = false) -> NumField, NumFieldElem

Given an irreducible polynomial $f \in K[x]$ over some number field $K$, this function creates the simple number field $L = K[x]/(f)$ and returns $(L, b)$, where $b$ is the class of $x$ in $L$. The string s is used only for printing the primitive element $b$.

• check: Controls whether irreducibility of $f$ is checked.
• cached: Controls whether the result is cached.

Examples

julia> K, a = quadratic_field(5);

julia> Kt, t = K["t"];

julia> L, b = number_field(t^3 - 3, "b");

number_field(f::Vector{PolyElem{<:NumFieldElem}}, s::String="_\$", check = true)

The supplied string s specifies how the generator of the number field should be printed.

If it is not supplied, a default dollar sign will be used to represent the variable.
