I was trying it in Epiphany, so that was probably it (unless I did something wrong), because I just tried firefox and it works great. > Cool -- I'm glad it's easy to install.

It's an iterative process. I see. You are right, when we release the 0.4 in couple of weeks, I'll try to create a SAGE package with your help, because that would allow easy comparisons with other CASes. Of course there is no need to reimplement anything, that Maxima can do. What I don't like on them is their interface. So I am looking forward to your sage.calculus, that actually can make Maxima quite usable. As to the extensibility - I think it would be quite difficult to extend for example Maxima's limits facility (there are some limits that Maxima cannot do, but SymPy can), or Maxima's differential equations solver module. Either it would have to be done in LISP, or rewrite the whole module to python, neither of which I find easy. Or is there a better approach?
