I'm working on tut.tex in sage 1.5 alpha12. I've made several
fixes but have run into some questions.

1. The command
R = ElementaryFunctionRing(QQ,"t"); R
doesn't work. Did you remove that module?

2. The command
sage: MS = MatrixSpace(GF(7),2,2)
sage: g = MS([[5, 1], [4, 1]])
sage: g.eigenvalues()
doesn't work. Did you remove eigenvalues and eigenvectors?

3. The command
sage: A = maxima("A: matrix ([1, 0, 0], [1, -1, 0], [1, 3, -2])")
sage: eigA = A.eigenvectors()
sage: V = VectorSpace(QQ,3)
sage: eigA
[[[ - 2, - 1,1],[1,1,1]],[0,0,1],[0,1,3],[1,1/2,5/6]]
sage: v1 = V(sage_eval(str(eigA[1]))); lambda1 = sage_eval(str(eigA[0][0][0]))
sage: v2 = V(sage_eval(str(eigA[2]))); lambda2 = sage_eval(str(eigA[0][0][1]))
sage: v3 = V(sage_eval(str(eigA[3]))); lambda3 = sage_eval(str(eigA[0][0][2]))
sage: M = MatrixSpace(QQ,3,3)
sage: AA = M([[1,0,0],[1, - 1,0],[1,3, - 2]])
sage: AA*v1 == lambda1*v1
True
sage: AA*v2 == lambda2*v2
True
sage: AA*v3 == lambda3*v3
True
works. However, it seems overly tricky to me. The previous version didn't
require such gymnastics to convert a "Maxima element" (even if it
is an integer) to a SAGE element. Is it okay to leave this as above?

4. The maxima output has changed:
sage: maxima.eval("f:bessel_y (v, w)")
 '?%bessel_y(v,w)'
(it used to be  'bessel_y(v,w)'). Is this a consequence of the new
version of Maxima? Do you want that? The extra "?%" is confusing.

5. This seems to indicate a bug:
sage: MS = MatrixSpace(GF(7), 2)
sage: sage: gens = [MS([[1,0],[-1,1]]),MS([[1,1],[0,1]])]
sage: sage: G = MatrixGroup(gens)
sage: G.conjugacy_class_representatives()
[
[1 0]
[0 1],
[6 0]
[0 6]
]
It worked correctly in the previous version of SAGE.

6. The module Numeric does not seem to exist:
sage: import Numeric
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>           Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/wdj/sagefiles/sage-1.5.alpha12/devel/doc-1.5.alpha12/tut/<ipython
console> in <module>()
<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named Numeric
Are you leaving Numeric out? I vaguely remember a discussion about
numeric/numpy/scipy but I've forgotten what the decision was. I think
it used to be a standard package.
