I am new to sage and trying to use it as a part of SageTeX.

I have numerical calculations that need to adhere to significant
digits of the input. I have tried to use round(x,n) to get n
significant digits. However, this method fails miserably for very
small numbers (think 1.67e-17, which returns zero).

Is there a way to make sure that sage outputs only n significant
digits in the mantissa ?

Second question:

Is there a way to embed results of a matlab calculation using SageTeX
(especially plots) ? For Mathematica, I can generate a plotfile and
use \includegraphics to include the graphic. However, any attempt to
use matlab's plot() command leads to a syntax error via sage.
