ToNumberField

ToNumberField[a,

]
expresses the algebraic number a in the number field generated by

.

ToNumberField[{a₁, a₂, ...},

]
expresses the a_i in the field generated by

.

ToNumberField[{a₁, a₂, ...}]
expresses the a_i in a common extension field generated by a single algebraic number.

MORE INFORMATION

ToNumberField gives AlgebraicNumber objects corresponding to elements of the rational extension .

ToNumberField[a, ] remains unevaluated if a does not exist in .

The a_i and can be given in terms of Root or AlgebraicNumber objects, or ordinary rationals and radicals.

If is an algebraic integer the results will always be given in terms of AlgebraicNumber[, list].

ToNumberField[{a₁, a₂, ...}] gives a representation of the a_i in terms of a primitive element of the field .

ToNumberField[{a₁, a₂, ...}] is equivalent to ToNumberField[{a₁, a₂, ...}, Automatic], and does not necessarily use the smallest common field extension.

ToNumberField[{a₁, a₂, ...}, All] always uses the smallest common field extension.

ToNumberField[x] converts any form of algebraic number to an explicit AlgebraicNumber object.
