Reference docs for the Poly Domains¶

This page lists the reference documentation for the domains in the polys module. For a general introduction to the polys module it is recommended to read Basic functionality of the module instead. For an introductory explanation of the what the domain system is and how it is used it is recommended to read Introducing the Domains of the poly module. This page lists the reference docs for the Domain class and its subclasses (the specific domains such as ZZ) as well as the classes that represent the domain elements.

Domains¶

Here we document the various implemented ground domains (see Introducing the Domains of the poly module for more of an explanation). There are three types of Domain subclass: abstract domains, concrete domains, and “implementation domains”. Abstract domains cannot be (usefully) instantiated at all, and just collect together functionality shared by many other domains. Concrete domains are those meant to be instantiated and used in the polynomial manipulation algorithms. In some cases, there are various possible ways to implement the data type the domain provides. For example, depending on what libraries are available on the system, the integers are implemented either using the python built-in integers, or using gmpy. Note that various aliases are created automatically depending on the libraries available. As such e.g. ZZ always refers to the most efficient implementation of the integer ring available.

Abstract Domains¶

class sympy.polys.domains.domain.Domain[source]

Superclass for all domains in the polys domains system.

See Introducing the Domains of the poly module for an introductory explanation of the domains system.

The Domain class is an abstract base class for all of the concrete domain types. There are many different Domain subclasses each of which has an associated dtype which is a class representing the elements of the domain. The coefficients of a Poly are elements of a domain which must be a subclass of Domain.

Examples

The most common example domains are the integers ZZ and the rationals QQ.

>>> from sympy import Poly, symbols, Domain
>>> x, y = symbols('x, y')
>>> p = Poly(x**2 + y)
>>> p
Poly(x**2 + y, x, y, domain='ZZ')
>>> p.domain
ZZ
>>> isinstance(p.domain, Domain)
True
>>> Poly(x**2 + y/2)
Poly(x**2 + 1/2*y, x, y, domain='QQ')

The domains can be used directly in which case the domain object e.g. (ZZ or QQ) can be used as a constructor for elements of dtype.

>>> from sympy import ZZ, QQ
>>> ZZ(2)
2
>>> ZZ.dtype
<class 'int'>
>>> type(ZZ(2))
<class 'int'>
>>> QQ(1, 2)
1/2
>>> type(QQ(1, 2))
<class 'sympy.polys.domains.pythonrational.PythonRational'>

The corresponding domain elements can be used with the arithmetic operations +,-,*,** and depending on the domain some combination of /,//,% might be usable. For example in ZZ both // (floor division) and % (modulo division) can be used but / (true division) can not. Since QQ is a Field its elements can be used with / but // and % should not be used. Some domains have a gcd() method.

>>> ZZ(2) + ZZ(3)
5
>>> ZZ(5) // ZZ(2)
2
>>> ZZ(5) % ZZ(2)
1
>>> QQ(1, 2) / QQ(2, 3)
3/4
>>> ZZ.gcd(ZZ(4), ZZ(2))
2
>>> QQ.gcd(QQ(2,7), QQ(5,3))
1/21
>>> ZZ.is_Field
False
>>> QQ.is_Field
True

There are also many other domains including:

1. GF(p) for finite fields of prime order.

2. RR for real (floating point) numbers.

3. CC for complex (floating point) numbers.

4. QQ<a> for algebraic number fields.

5. K[x] for polynomial rings.

6. K(x) for rational function fields.

7. EX for arbitrary expressions.

Each domain is represented by a domain object and also an implementation class (dtype) for the elements of the domain. For example the K[x] domains are represented by a domain object which is an instance of PolynomialRing and the elements are always instances of PolyElement. The implementation class represents particular types of mathematical expressions in a way that is more efficient than a normal SymPy expression which is of type Expr. The domain methods from_sympy() and to_sympy() are used to convert from Expr to a domain element and vice versa.

>>> from sympy import Symbol, ZZ, Expr
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> K = ZZ[x]           # polynomial ring domain
>>> K
ZZ[x]
>>> type(K)             # class of the domain
<class 'sympy.polys.domains.polynomialring.PolynomialRing'>
>>> K.dtype             # class of the elements
<class 'sympy.polys.rings.PolyElement'>
>>> p_expr = x**2 + 1   # Expr
>>> p_expr
x**2 + 1
>>> type(p_expr)
>>> isinstance(p_expr, Expr)
True
>>> p_domain = K.from_sympy(p_expr)
>>> p_domain            # domain element
x**2 + 1
>>> type(p_domain)
<class 'sympy.polys.rings.PolyElement'>
>>> K.to_sympy(p_domain) == p_expr
True

The convert_from() method is used to convert domain elements from one domain to another.

>>> from sympy import ZZ, QQ
>>> ez = ZZ(2)
>>> eq = QQ.convert_from(ez, ZZ)
>>> type(ez)
<class 'int'>
>>> type(eq)
<class 'sympy.polys.domains.pythonrational.PythonRational'>

Elements from different domains should not be mixed in arithmetic or other operations: they should be converted to a common domain first. The domain method unify() is used to find a domain that can represent all the elements of two given domains.

>>> from sympy import ZZ, QQ, symbols
>>> x, y = symbols('x, y')
>>> ZZ.unify(QQ)
QQ
>>> ZZ[x].unify(QQ)
QQ[x]
>>> ZZ[x].unify(QQ[y])
QQ[x,y]

If a domain is a Ring then is might have an associated Field and vice versa. The get_field() and get_ring() methods will find or create the associated domain.

>>> from sympy import ZZ, QQ, Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> ZZ.has_assoc_Field
True
>>> ZZ.get_field()
QQ
>>> QQ.has_assoc_Ring
True
>>> QQ.get_ring()
ZZ
>>> K = QQ[x]
>>> K
QQ[x]
>>> K.get_field()
QQ(x)

denom(a)[source]

Returns denominator of a.

div(a, b)[source]

Quotient and remainder for a and b. Analogue of divmod(a, b)

Parameters

a: domain element

The dividend

b: domain element

The divisor

Returns

(q, r): tuple of domain elements

The quotient and remainder

Raises

ZeroDivisionError: when the divisor is zero.

Explanation

This is essentially the same as divmod(a, b) except that is more consistent when working over some Field domains such as QQ. When working over an arbitrary Domain the div() method should be used instead of divmod.

The key invariant is that if q, r = K.div(a, b) then a == b*q + r.

The result of K.div(a, b) is the same as the tuple (K.quo(a, b), K.rem(a, b)) except that if both quotient and remainder are needed then it is more efficient to use div().

Examples

We can use K.div instead of divmod for floor division and remainder.

>>> from sympy import ZZ, QQ
>>> ZZ.div(ZZ(5), ZZ(2))
(2, 1)

If K is a Field then the division is always exact with a remainder of zero.

>>> QQ.div(QQ(5), QQ(2))
(5/2, 0)

Notes

If gmpy is installed then the gmpy.mpq type will be used as the dtype for QQ. The gmpy.mpq type defines divmod in a way that is undesirable so div() should be used instead of divmod.

>>> a = QQ(1)
>>> b = QQ(3, 2)
>>> a
mpq(1,1)
>>> b
mpq(3,2)
>>> divmod(a, b)
(mpz(0), mpq(1,1))
>>> QQ.div(a, b)
(mpq(2,3), mpq(0,1))

Using // or % with QQ will lead to incorrect results so div() should be used instead.

quo

Analogue of a // b

rem

Analogue of a % b

exquo

Analogue of a / b

drop(*symbols)[source]

<class 'int'>
>>> z = ZZ(2)
>>> z
2
>>> type(z)
<class 'int'>
>>> type(z) == ZZ.dtype
True

Every domain has an associated dtype (“datatype”) which is the class of the associated domain elements.

of_type

evalf(a, prec=None, **options)[source]

Returns numerical approximation of a.

exquo(a, b)[source]

Exact quotient of a and b. Analogue of a / b.

Parameters

a: domain element

The dividend

b: domain element

The divisor

Returns

q: domain element

The exact quotient

Raises

ExactQuotientFailed: if exact division is not possible.

ZeroDivisionError: when the divisor is zero.

Explanation

This is essentially the same as a / b except that an error will be raised if the division is inexact (if there is any remainder) and the result will always be a domain element. When working in a Domain that is not a Field (e.g. ZZ or K[x]) exquo should be used instead of /.

The key invariant is that if q = K.exquo(a, b) (and exquo does not raise an exception) then a == b*q.

Examples

We can use K.exquo instead of / for exact division.

>>> from sympy import ZZ
>>> ZZ.exquo(ZZ(4), ZZ(2))
2
>>> ZZ.exquo(ZZ(5), ZZ(2))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ExactQuotientFailed: 2 does not divide 5 in ZZ

Over a Field such as QQ, division (with nonzero divisor) is always exact so in that case / can be used instead of exquo().

>>> from sympy import QQ
>>> QQ.exquo(QQ(5), QQ(2))
5/2
>>> QQ(5) / QQ(2)
5/2

Notes

Since the default dtype for ZZ is int (or mpz) division as a / b should not be used as it would give a float.

>>> ZZ(4) / ZZ(2)
2.0
>>> ZZ(5) / ZZ(2)
2.5

Using / with ZZ will lead to incorrect results so exquo() should be used instead.

quo

Analogue of a // b

rem

Analogue of a % b

Analogue of divmod(a, b)

to_sympy(a)[source]

Convert domain element a to a SymPy expression (Expr).

Parameters

a: domain element

An element of this Domain.

Returns

expr: Expr

A normal sympy expression of type Expr.

Explanation

Convert a Domain element a to Expr. Most public SymPy functions work with objects of type Expr. The elements of a Domain have a different internal representation. It is not possible to mix domain elements with Expr so each domain has to_sympy() and from_sympy() methods to convert its domain elements to and from Expr.

Examples

Construct an element of the QQ domain and then convert it to Expr.

>>> from sympy import QQ, Expr
>>> q_domain = QQ(2)
>>> q_domain
2
>>> q_expr = QQ.to_sympy(q_domain)
>>> q_expr
2

Although the printed forms look similar these objects are not of the same type.

>>> isinstance(q_domain, Expr)
False
>>> isinstance(q_expr, Expr)
True

Construct an element of K[x] and convert to Expr.

>>> from sympy import Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> K = QQ[x]
>>> x_domain = K.gens[0]  # generator x as a domain element
>>> p_domain = x_domain**2/3 + 1
>>> p_domain
1/3*x**2 + 1
>>> p_expr = K.to_sympy(p_domain)
>>> p_expr
x**2/3 + 1

The from_sympy() method is used for the opposite conversion from a normal SymPy expression to a domain element.

>>> p_domain == p_expr
False
>>> K.from_sympy(p_expr) == p_domain
True
>>> K.to_sympy(p_domain) == p_expr
True
>>> K.from_sympy(K.to_sympy(p_domain)) == p_domain
True
>>> K.to_sympy(K.from_sympy(p_expr)) == p_expr
True

The from_sympy() method makes it easier to construct domain elements interactively.

>>> from sympy import Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> K = QQ[x]
>>> K.from_sympy(x**2/3 + 1)
1/3*x**2 + 1

inject(*symbols)[source]

GF(p)¶

class sympy.polys.domains.FiniteField(mod, dom=None, symmetric=True)[source]

Finite field of prime order GF(p)

A GF(p) domain represents a finite field $$\mathbb{F}_p$$ of prime order as Domain in the domain system (see Introducing the Domains of the poly module).

A Poly created from an expression with integer coefficients will have the domain ZZ. Howeer if the modulus=p option is given the the domain will be a finite field instead.

>>> from sympy import Poly, Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> p = Poly(x**2 + 1)
>>> p
Poly(x**2 + 1, x, domain='ZZ')
>>> p.domain
ZZ
>>> p2 = Poly(x**2 + 1, modulus=2)
>>> p2
Poly(x**2 + 1, x, modulus=2)
>>> p2.domain
GF(2)

It is possible to factorise a polynomial over GF(p) using the modulus argument to factor() or by specifying the domain explicitly. The domain can also be given as a string.

>>> from sympy import factor, GF
>>> factor(x**2 + 1)
x**2 + 1
>>> factor(x**2 + 1, modulus=2)
(x + 1)**2
>>> factor(x**2 + 1, domain=GF(2))
(x + 1)**2
>>> factor(x**2 + 1, domain='GF(2)')
(x + 1)**2

It is also possible to use GF(p) with the cancel() and gcd() functions.

>>> from sympy import cancel, gcd
>>> cancel((x**2 + 1)/(x + 1))
(x**2 + 1)/(x + 1)
>>> cancel((x**2 + 1)/(x + 1), domain=GF(2))
x + 1
>>> gcd(x**2 + 1, x + 1)
1
>>> gcd(x**2 + 1, x + 1, domain=GF(2))
x + 1

When using the domain directly GF(p) can be used as a constructor to create instances which then support the operations +,-,*,**,/

>>> from sympy import GF
>>> K = GF(5)
>>> K
GF(5)
>>> x = K(3)
>>> y = K(2)
>>> x
3 mod 5
>>> y
2 mod 5
>>> x * y
1 mod 5
>>> x / y
4 mod 5

Notes

It is also possible to create a GF(p) domain of non-prime order but the resulting ring is not a field: it is just the ring of the integers modulo n.

>>> K = GF(9)
>>> z = K(3)
>>> z
3 mod 9
>>> z**2
0 mod 9

It would be good to have a proper implementation of prime power fields (GF(p**n)) but these are not yet implemented in SymPY.

Finite field based on GMPY integers.

ZZ¶

The ZZ domain represents the integers $$\mathbb{Z}$$ as a Domain in the domain system (see Introducing the Domains of the poly module).

By default a Poly created from an expression with integer coefficients will have the domain ZZ:

>>> from sympy import Poly, Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> p = Poly(x**2 + 1)
>>> p
Poly(x**2 + 1, x, domain='ZZ')
>>> p.domain
ZZ

The corresponding field of fractions is the domain of the rationals QQ. Conversely ZZ is the ring of integers of QQ:

>>> from sympy import ZZ, QQ
>>> ZZ.get_field()
QQ
>>> QQ.get_ring()
ZZ

When using the domain directly ZZ can be used as a constructor to create instances which then support the operations +,-,*,**,//,% (true division / should not be used with ZZ - see the exquo() domain method):

>>> x = ZZ(5)
>>> y = ZZ(2)
>>> x // y  # floor division
2
>>> x % y   # modulo division (remainder)
1

The gcd() method can be used to compute the gcd of any two elements:

>>> ZZ.gcd(ZZ(10), ZZ(2))
2

There are two implementations of ZZ in SymPy. If gmpy or gmpy2 is installed then ZZ will be implemented by GMPYIntegerRing and the elements will be instances of the gmpy.mpz type. Otherwise if gmpy and gmpy2 are not installed then ZZ will be implemented by PythonIntegerRing which uses Python’s standard builtin int type. With larger integers gmpy can be more efficient so it is preferred when available.

class sympy.polys.domains.IntegerRing[source]

The domain ZZ representing the integers $$\mathbb{Z}$$.

The IntegerRing class represents the ring of integers as a Domain in the domain system. IntegerRing is a super class of PythonIntegerRing and GMPYIntegerRing one of which will be the implementation for ZZ depending on whether or not gmpy or gmpy2 is installed.

QQ¶

The QQ domain represents the rationals $$\mathbb{Q}$$ as a Domain in the domain system (see Introducing the Domains of the poly module).

By default a Poly created from an expression with rational coefficients will have the domain QQ:

>>> from sympy import Poly, Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> p = Poly(x**2 + x/2)
>>> p
Poly(x**2 + 1/2*x, x, domain='QQ')
>>> p.domain
QQ

The corresponding ring of integers is the Domain of the integers ZZ. Conversely QQ is the field of fractions of ZZ:

>>> from sympy import ZZ, QQ
>>> QQ.get_ring()
ZZ
>>> ZZ.get_field()
QQ

When using the domain directly QQ can be used as a constructor to create instances which then support the operations +,-,*,**,/ (true division / is always possible for nonzero divisors in QQ):

>>> x = QQ(5)
>>> y = QQ(2)
>>> x / y  # true division
5/2

There are two implementations of QQ in SymPy. If gmpy or gmpy2 is installed then QQ will be implemented by GMPYRationalField and the elements will be instances of the gmpy.mpq type. Otherwise if gmpy and gmpy2 are not installed then QQ will be implemented by PythonRationalField which is a pure Python class as part of sympy. The gmpy implementation is preferred because it is significantly faster.

class sympy.polys.domains.RationalField[source]

Abstract base class for the domain QQ.

The RationalField class represents the field of rational numbers $$\mathbb{Q}$$ as a Domain in the domain system. RationalField is a superclass of PythonRationalField and GMPYRationalField one of which will be the implementation for QQ depending on whether either of gmpy or gmpy2 is installed or not.

class sympy.polys.domains.PythonRational(p, q=1, _gcd=True)[source]

This is the domain element dtype for the Domain QQ representing rational numbers if gmpy is not installed.

This was originally needed for compatibility with older Python versions which don’t support Fraction. It should probably be removed now and replaced by the stdlib Fraction implementation. If gmpy is installed then gmpy.mpq is used which is much faster than PythonRational. Otherwise this implementation is slower than Fraction so it should be just be removed.

Examples

>>> from sympy.polys.domains import PythonRational
>>> PythonRational(1)
1
>>> PythonRational(2, 3)
2/3
>>> PythonRational(14, 10)

0 is included in quadrant 0.

ZZ_I¶

class sympy.polys.domains.gaussiandomains.GaussianIntegerRing[source]

Ring of Gaussian integers ZZ_I

The ZZ_I domain represents the Gaussian integers $$\mathbb{Z}[i]$$ as a Domain in the domain system (see Introducing the Domains of the poly module).

By default a Poly created from an expression with coefficients that are combinations of integers and I ($$\sqrt{-1}$$) will have the domain ZZ_I.

>>> from sympy import Poly, Symbol, I
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> p = Poly(x**2 + I)
>>> p
Poly(x**2 + I, x, domain='ZZ_I')
>>> p.domain
ZZ_I

The ZZ_I domain can be used to factorise polynomials that are reducible over the Gaussian integers.

>>> from sympy import factor
>>> factor(x**2 + 1)
x**2 + 1
>>> factor(x**2 + 1, domain='ZZ_I')
(x - I)*(x + I)

The corresponding field of fractions is the domain of the Gaussian rationals QQ_I. Conversely ZZ_I is the ring of integers of QQ_I.

>>> from sympy import ZZ_I, QQ_I
>>> ZZ_I.get_field()
QQ_I
>>> QQ_I.get_ring()
ZZ_I

When using the domain directly ZZ_I can be used as a constructor.

>>> ZZ_I(3, 4)
(3 + 4*I)
>>> ZZ_I(5)
(5 + 0*I)

The domain elements of ZZ_I are instances of GaussianInteger which support the rings operations +,-,*,**.

>>> z1 = ZZ_I(5, 1)
>>> z2 = ZZ_I(2, 3)
>>> z1
(5 + 1*I)
>>> z2
(2 + 3*I)
>>> z1 + z2
(7 + 4*I)
>>> z1 * z2
(7 + 17*I)
>>> z1 ** 2
(24 + 10*I)

Both floor (//) and modulo (%) division work with GaussianInteger (see the div() method).

>>> z3, z4 = ZZ_I(5), ZZ_I(1, 3)
>>> z3 // z4  # floor division
(1 + -1*I)
>>> z3 % z4   # modulo division (remainder)
(1 + -2*I)
>>> (z3//z4)*z4 + z3%z4 == z3
True

True division (/) in ZZ_I gives an element of QQ_I. The exquo() method can be used to divide in ZZ_I when exact division is possible.

>>> z1 / z2
(1 + -1*I)
>>> ZZ_I.exquo(z1, z2)
(1 + -1*I)
>>> z3 / z4
(1/2 + -3/2*I)
>>> ZZ_I.exquo(z3, z4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ExactQuotientFailed: (1 + 3*I) does not divide (5 + 0*I) in ZZ_I

The gcd() method can be used to compute the gcd of any two elements.

>>> ZZ_I.gcd(ZZ_I(10), ZZ_I(2))
(2 + 0*I)
>>> ZZ_I.gcd(ZZ_I(5), ZZ_I(2, 1))
(2 + 1*I)

QQ_I¶

class sympy.polys.domains.gaussiandomains.GaussianRationalField[source]

Field of Gaussian rationals QQ_I

The QQ_I domain represents the Gaussian rationals $$\mathbb{Q}(i)$$ as a Domain in the domain system (see Introducing the Domains of the poly module).

By default a Poly created from an expression with coefficients that are combinations of rationals and I ($$\sqrt{-1}$$) will have the domain QQ_I.

>>> from sympy import Poly, Symbol, I
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> p = Poly(x**2 + I/2)
>>> p
Poly(x**2 + I/2, x, domain='QQ_I')
>>> p.domain
QQ_I

The polys option gaussian=True can be used to specify that the domain should be QQ_I even if the coefficients do not contain I or are all integers.

>>> Poly(x**2)
Poly(x**2, x, domain='ZZ')
>>> Poly(x**2 + I)
Poly(x**2 + I, x, domain='ZZ_I')
>>> Poly(x**2/2)
Poly(1/2*x**2, x, domain='QQ')
>>> Poly(x**2, gaussian=True)
Poly(x**2, x, domain='QQ_I')
>>> Poly(x**2 + I, gaussian=True)
Poly(x**2 + I, x, domain='QQ_I')
>>> Poly(x**2/2, gaussian=True)
Poly(1/2*x**2, x, domain='QQ_I')

The QQ_I domain can be used to factorise polynomials that are reducible over the Gaussian rationals.

>>> from sympy import factor, QQ_I
>>> factor(x**2/4 + 1)
(x**2 + 4)/4
>>> factor(x**2/4 + 1, domain='QQ_I')
(x - 2*I)*(x + 2*I)/4
>>> factor(x**2/4 + 1, domain=QQ_I)
(x - 2*I)*(x + 2*I)/4

It is also possible to specify the QQ_I domain explicitly with polys functions like apart().

>>> from sympy import apart
>>> apart(1/(1 + x**2))
1/(x**2 + 1)
>>> apart(1/(1 + x**2), domain=QQ_I)
I/(2*(x + I)) - I/(2*(x - I))

The corresponding ring of integers is the domain of the Gaussian integers ZZ_I. Conversely QQ_I is the field of fractions of ZZ_I.

>>> from sympy import ZZ_I, QQ_I, QQ
>>> ZZ_I.get_field()
QQ_I
>>> QQ_I.get_ring()
ZZ_I

When using the domain directly QQ_I can be used as a constructor.

>>> QQ_I(3, 4)
(3 + 4*I)
>>> QQ_I(5)
(5 + 0*I)
>>> QQ_I(QQ(2, 3), QQ(4, 5))
(2/3 + 4/5*I)

The domain elements of QQ_I are instances of GaussianRational which support the field operations +,-,*,**,/.

>>> z1 = QQ_I(5, 1)
>>> z2 = QQ_I(2, QQ(1, 2))
>>> z1
(5 + 1*I)
>>> z2
(2 + 1/2*I)
>>> z1 + z2
(7 + 3/2*I)
>>> z1 * z2
(19/2 + 9/2*I)
>>> z2 ** 2
(15/4 + 2*I)

True division (/) in QQ_I gives an element of QQ_I and is always exact.

>>> z1 / z2
(42/17 + -2/17*I)
>>> QQ_I.exquo(z1, z2)
(42/17 + -2/17*I)
>>> z1 == (z1/z2)*z2
True

Both floor (//) and modulo (%) division can be used with GaussianRational (see div()) but division is always exact so there is no remainder.

>>> z1 // z2
(42/17 + -2/17*I)
>>> z1 % z2
(0 + 0*I)
>>> QQ_I.div(z1, z2)
((42/17 + -2/17*I), (0 + 0*I))
>>> (z1//z2)*z2 + z1%z2 == z1
True

>>> type(z)
<class 'sympy.polys.domains.gaussiandomains.GaussianRational'>

QQ<a>¶

class sympy.polys.domains.AlgebraicField(dom, *ext)[source]

Algebraic number field QQ<a>

A QQ<a> domain represents an algebraic number field $$\mathbb{Q}(a)$$ as a Domain in the domain system (see Introducing the Domains of the poly module).

A Poly created from an expression involving algebraic numbers will treat the algebraic numbers as generators if the generators argument is not specified.

>>> from sympy import Poly, Symbol, sqrt
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> Poly(x**2 + sqrt(2))
Poly(x**2 + (sqrt(2)), x, sqrt(2), domain='ZZ')

That is a multivariate polynomial with sqrt(2) treated as one of the generators (variables). If the generators are explicitly specified then sqrt(2) will be considered to be a coefficient but by default the EX domain is used. To make a Poly with a QQ<a> domain the argument extension=True can be given.

>>> Poly(x**2 + sqrt(2), x)
Poly(x**2 + sqrt(2), x, domain='EX')
>>> Poly(x**2 + sqrt(2), x, extension=True)
Poly(x**2 + sqrt(2), x, domain='QQ<sqrt(2)>')

A generator of the algebraic field extension can also be specified explicitly which is particularly useful if the coefficients are all rational but an extension field is needed (e.g. to factor the polynomial).

>>> Poly(x**2 + 1)
Poly(x**2 + 1, x, domain='ZZ')
>>> Poly(x**2 + 1, extension=sqrt(2))
Poly(x**2 + 1, x, domain='QQ<sqrt(2)>')

It is possible to factorise a polynomial over a QQ<a> domain using the extension argument to factor() or by specifying the domain explicitly.

>>> from sympy import factor, QQ
>>> factor(x**2 - 2)
x**2 - 2
>>> factor(x**2 - 2, extension=sqrt(2))
(x - sqrt(2))*(x + sqrt(2))
>>> factor(x**2 - 2, domain='QQ<sqrt(2)>')
(x - sqrt(2))*(x + sqrt(2))
>>> factor(x**2 - 2, domain=QQ.algebraic_field(sqrt(2)))
(x - sqrt(2))*(x + sqrt(2))

The extension=True argument can be used but will only create an extension that contains the coefficients which is usually not enough to factorise the polynomial.

>>> p = x**3 + sqrt(2)*x**2 - 2*x - 2*sqrt(2)
>>> factor(p)                         # treats sqrt(2) as a symbol
(x + sqrt(2))*(x**2 - 2)
>>> factor(p, extension=True)
(x - sqrt(2))*(x + sqrt(2))**2
>>> factor(x**2 - 2, extension=True)  # all rational coefficients
x**2 - 2

It is also possible to use QQ<a> with the cancel() and gcd() functions.

>>> from sympy import cancel, gcd
>>> cancel((x**2 - 2)/(x - sqrt(2)))
(x**2 - 2)/(x - sqrt(2))
>>> cancel((x**2 - 2)/(x - sqrt(2)), extension=sqrt(2))
x + sqrt(2)
>>> gcd(x**2 - 2, x - sqrt(2))
1
>>> gcd(x**2 - 2, x - sqrt(2), extension=sqrt(2))
x - sqrt(2)

When using the domain directly QQ<a> can be used as a constructor to create instances which then support the operations +,-,*,**,/. The algebraic_field() method is used to construct a particular QQ<a> domain. The from_sympy() method can be used to create domain elements from normal sympy expressions.

>>> K = QQ.algebraic_field(sqrt(2))
>>> K
QQ<sqrt(2)>
>>> xk = K.from_sympy(3 + 4*sqrt(2))
>>> xk
ANP([4, 3], [1, 0, -2], QQ)

Elements of QQ<a> are instances of ANP which have limited printing support. The raw display shows the internal representation of the element as the list [4, 3] representing the coefficients of 1 and sqrt(2) for this element in the form a * sqrt(2) + b * 1 where a and b are elements of QQ. The minimal polynomial for the generator (x**2 - 2) is also shown in the DUP representation as the list [1, 0, -2]. We can use to_sympy() to get a better printed form for the elements and to see the results of operations.

>>> xk = K.from_sympy(3 + 4*sqrt(2))
>>> yk = K.from_sympy(2 + 3*sqrt(2))
>>> xk * yk
ANP([17, 30], [1, 0, -2], QQ)
>>> K.to_sympy(xk * yk)
17*sqrt(2) + 30
>>> K.to_sympy(xk + yk)
5 + 7*sqrt(2)
>>> K.to_sympy(xk ** 2)
24*sqrt(2) + 41
>>> K.to_sympy(xk / yk)
sqrt(2)/14 + 9/7

Any expression representing an algebraic number can be used to generate a QQ<a> domain provided its minimal polynomial can be computed. The function minpoly() function is used for this.

>>> from sympy import exp, I, pi, minpoly
>>> g = exp(2*I*pi/3)
>>> g
exp(2*I*pi/3)
>>> g.is_algebraic
True
>>> minpoly(g, x)
x**2 + x + 1
>>> factor(x**3 - 1, extension=g)
(x - 1)*(x - exp(2*I*pi/3))*(x + 1 + exp(2*I*pi/3))

It is also possible to make an algebraic field from multiple extension elements.

>>> K = QQ.algebraic_field(sqrt(2), sqrt(3))
>>> K
QQ<sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)>
>>> p = x**4 - 5*x**2 + 6
>>> factor(p)
(x**2 - 3)*(x**2 - 2)
>>> factor(p, domain=K)
(x - sqrt(2))*(x + sqrt(2))*(x - sqrt(3))*(x + sqrt(3))
>>> factor(p, extension=[sqrt(2), sqrt(3)])
(x - sqrt(2))*(x + sqrt(2))*(x - sqrt(3))*(x + sqrt(3))

Multiple extension elements are always combined together to make a single primitive element. In the case of [sqrt(2), sqrt(3)] the primitive element chosen is sqrt(2) + sqrt(3) which is why the domain displays as QQ<sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)>. The minimal polynomial for the primitive element is computed using the primitive_element() function.

>>> from sympy import primitive_element
>>> primitive_element([sqrt(2), sqrt(3)], x)
(x**4 - 10*x**2 + 1, [1, 1])
>>> minpoly(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3), x)
x**4 - 10*x**2 + 1

The extension elements that generate the domain can be accessed from the domain using the ext and orig_ext attributes as instances of AlgebraicNumber. The minimal polynomial for the primitive element as a DMP instance is available as mod.

>>> K = QQ.algebraic_field(sqrt(2), sqrt(3))
>>> K
QQ<sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)>
>>> K.ext
sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)
>>> K.orig_ext
(sqrt(2), sqrt(3))
>>> K.mod
DMP([1, 0, -10, 0, 1], QQ, None)

Notes

It is not currently possible to generate an algebraic extension over any domain other than QQ. Ideally it would be possible to generate extensions like QQ(x)(sqrt(x**2 - 2)). This is equivalent to the quotient ring QQ(x)[y]/(y**2 - x**2 + 2) and there are two implementations of this kind of quotient ring/extension in the QuotientRing and MonogenicFiniteExtension classes. Each of those implementations needs some work to make them fully usable though.
