Just started using Maxima, and I'm having a little problem... Well, two
problems.
The first problem is that when I take SQRT(a), where a is a large
integer (in this case, 2220223), I just get back SQRT(2220223). Does
this mean a doesn't have a square root?
The second problem is that what I actually need to do is find the square
root of a mod n, where n is 20490901. Any tips on how to do that would
be appreciated..
