Hello,

I am in the process of putting together a Sage tutorial aimed at high
school students and I have the following 2 questions:

1) In Mathematica there is a Clear function that is used to clear
variables and an example is Clear [ f, x ].  Is there an equivalent
function in Sage that does this?  I have been using the var function
to clear variables but I was wondering if Sage contained a function
like Clear that was more intuitive.

2) In the tutorial, I want to cover using Sage to work with different
number bases.  I have found that the following code provides a nice
general way to convert base(n) string numbers into Integers:

x = Integer( '10100101', 2)

but I have not yet found a general way to convert Integers to base(n)
string numbers.  Does anyone know of a general way to do this?

I think the binary method in the Integer class is close to what I am
looking for and I think that having a more general base(n) method in
the Integer class that works similarly to it would be useful.

Thanks in advance,

Ted
