Well, that was easy! So are these SAGE objects that you have to construct?
Yes.
Its not clear where this code comes from. Is it a python object, is it from maxima, gap, what?
Python/Sage.
Still, these constructs do not preserve the matrix paradigm from MATLAB. For example, in MATLAB you can pass a matrix as an input parameter and process all the data in the matrix. I that like a List object in python? I thought I read somewhere in the SAGE dox that this was possible. I don't know why I'm thinking its a scipy thing.
Scipy/numpy is much closer to MATLAB in that respect. You can't do sin(m) (where m is a matrix) meaningfully in Sage yet. In scipy/numpy, it would give you the sin of each element.
What do you use scipy and numpy for?
For lots of stuff under the hood, for stuff that Sage doesn't have implemented yet, etc.
BTW, does SAGE use VPython?
No as a standard component, but I think someone once worked on an spkg for vpython.
