Constructor Detail

FreeGroupElement

public FreeGroupElement(FreeGroup K,
                        Number[] coeffs)

An element of a free group with one generator.

Parameters:

K - the free group.

coeffs - array of coefficients for this element c0 + c1 t + ... + cn t^n

Method Detail

getComplexValue

public Complex getComplexValue()

Returns an approximation to the complex number representing this algebraic number. This only gives meaningful results if setRootValue has been called or if it is a quadratic extension (t^2+b t+c) or if it is a simple n-th root (t^n+a). In the last two cases the root value is calculated automatically.

Specified by:

getComplexValue in interface HasComplexValueI

Returns:

Complex(Nan) if currently unable to calculate it.
