Description (last modified by ppurka)

This ticket implements ​the suggestion that was discussed in #12514. The idea is to be helpful to new users and coax them into doing the computations over the right fields.

Apply trac_13660-auto_convert_matrix_to_RDF_CDF.patch​ to devel/sage.

Patch attached. I haven't changed the LU and QR functions for two reasons:

  1. I don't quite know what to cache in those functions there.
  2. The behavior of RR and CC is already documented in those functions.

Added a git version of the patch. This is based on 6.1.beta5.

This doesn't generalise to a RealField of higher precision. I would suggest PARI's mateigen() is a good preinvented wheel to use. It is not currently wrapped in Sage, but that would be easy to do.
