Re: [Axiom-mail] Re: [Axiom-developer] Changing a variable type?

Thanks, Themos, for your suggestion, but it doesn't work.  What I'd like is to make u into a polynomial over the field PF p, but

u::POLY PF p

produces the error

 >> Error detected within library code:
   coerce: element doesn't belong to smaller field

Currently u is 3%C^2  + 2%C + 4, but I want to turn it into 3x^2+2x+4 over PF p.

Thanks!

Is this any good?

(u::POLY F)+(f::POLY F)
