Yes, my memory is that William Stein decided years ago that Octave was so well packaged and that the installer worked so well, there was no need to create a separate spkg. On the other hand, I too wish Sage had more easy-to-use functionality for solving systems of PDEs numerically, which I think is what the person is asking about. I think the femhub version of SymPy might have more functionality in that direction. http://femhub.org/ http://code.google.com/p/sfepy/ > helps. > > - kcrisman > > -- > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > >
