i love computers with magma on them

Abelian Group isomorphic to Z/3
Defined on 1 generator
Relations:
3*$.1 = 0
Mapping from: Abelian Group isomorphic to Z/3
Defined on 1 generator
Relations:
3*$.1 = 0 to Set of ideals of Maximal Equation Order with defining polynomial x^3 + 3*x + 15 over its ground order
Time: 0.460


this took me 3 days to compute by hand, the computer at the university of leiden runnen the progam magma only 0.460 second. well, atleast i got the same answer.

Did you notice how mathematicians like using programs starting with 'M'?

Mathematica, Maple, Matlab (well, not real mathematicians, but I'm trying to make a point here...), MuPad, Macaulay, Magma, Mail.

And Statisticians go for SAS, SPSS, Statistica, S (or R if they're open source cheapskates).

And Artists for Adobe xyz

And Programmers for Python or Perl or Porn.

Haha, I'm so funny. Now, go and tell me what your computation was about.

Um... that person totally confused the hell out of me. But yeah, good point, what was all that for anyway? And it took 3 days? Can I see your notes? I would love to know how you arrived at that answer.
