I have not seen your book yet but its been on my Amazon wish list for a while. I have been hesitant to buy too many 'old version' books and was hoping for some updated syntax examples for me to cut my teeth on.
While as a newcomer I obviously cannot comment on your first edition, but I can mention what specifically I have been looking for but have not found yet. Symbolic manipulation, substitutions, simplification for basic physics formulas. I have done some limited symbolics with Mathematica, but I just had to retire for medical reasons and can't personally justify the cost. I have heard good things about Sage symbolic manipulation capabilities, but so far I have not seen any really good discussion on it, particularly for the newest version. I apparently tried to join the Sage bandwagon right when so many changes took place, and many older code examples just don't seem to work right. If you had a discussion on symbolics it would be a no-brainer to buy your latest edition. Thanks for your work on documenting Sage. I look forward to your new book.
