You should play with inline help a bit, e.g., sage: R.random_element? will tell you information about that function. > I > suppose f.subs(x=1) substitutes this value in f.

G is a list of length three and * turns that into three different arguments for f's call. This is not a Sage feature but a feature of the Python language.
