[sage-support] Re: No Jmol-applet in firefox and Opera

2009-10-17 Thread littlemathteacher

Once again me. Maybe the error message has nothing to do with jmol. I
opened Opera and I could calculate but got "applet not found" and no
error message at all.

[sage-support] No Jmol-applet in firefox and Opera

2009-10-17 Thread littlemathteacher

Hi.

This is my second install on a x86/64 Ubuntu system. Last time there
has been some trouble with the jmol-Applet and a thing called IcedT or
so. It turned out that I simply had to run sage in Opera instead of
firefox to get the applet. This time things have changed. In Firefox
an applet-wimdow opens and shows the jmol-icon for a instant, then
stays black showing "jmol" at the bottom right. In opera I get "applet
not found". When using the sage online server I get the applets, which
means to me that java is running well. It is a compile-from-source
install. There is a working jmol on the system, but installed only
locally in a folder and not as a debian package so that there isn't
any starting command for jmol known yet .
This is the error message when firefox is being used:

2009-10-18 00:15:00+0200 [HTTPChannel,8,127.0.0.1] Request error:
Connection to the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion.
2009-10-18 00:15:01+0200 [HTTPChannel,10,127.0.0.1] Request error:
Connection to the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion.

I guess in opera it's the same error.

Thanks a lot for the support.

Sorry, me again.
Maybe I was wrong to say Sage scales "up". Maybe Sage scales "down".
Howto aviod this?

Thanks

[sage-support] Limiting the function value range in 3dplots

2009-06-01 Thread littlemathteacher

Dear supporters,

again thanks for the great support.

One thing I am missing (or simply not understanding) is 3dplotting
without automatically scaled up range of the function value.

(This is just my first example at hand and surely not a good one:
y, x = var ('x,y')
plot3d(lambda x,y : (bessel_Y(y,x,"scipy",53)).real(), (-0.002,0.002),
(-1,1))

#Put some broader x-range in to see what I mean.)


Please excuse this sloppy written description: Jmol and Sage seem to
try to plot the whole graph even at singularities, then "give up" (at
a level I don't know how to fix) but leave the picture with the scaled
up value range.

Use this link to see what I mean would be useful sometimes (and please
do not blame me because my plot above is another thing as seen there -
I am just playing around and I just took the first example at hand):

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ModifiedBesselFunctionoftheSecondKind.html

There the value range is simply cut at some point. In the german
wikipedia article on the exponential function it is done in a similar
way by Maple and the whole picture is scaled equally in all
dimensions:

http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Exp_re.png&filetimestamp=20050215210532

(Put the two lines together without intermedate space.)

Is there a way to limit the value range in a 3dplot other than
limiting the input range (I want to see, say, the region around the
singularity)?

Yours, littlemathteacher

[sage-support] Re: 3dplotting complex functions

2009-06-01 Thread littlemathteacher

Dear kcrisman,

I think it would be enough to give an example in the tutorial or in
the output of "plot3d?". Even more, an example gives kind of a smooth
lesson in how really to use the 3dplotting and the ".imag()" or the
".real()" command at the same time. Starting from Jason's examples I
did all I wanted to and even more and I am beginning to understand
plotting. Examples are better than new commands, because they are way
more flexible and they make you play around. Perhaps it would be nice
for the user to find an example how to plot graphs like these

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ModifiedBesselFunctionoftheSecondKind.html

in the outputs of "bessel_X?". In this case I succeded in generating
some pictures, but they don't look like the ones in mathworld. (But I
am not asking for support in this respect.)

One thing I am missing (or simply not understanding) is 3dplotting
without automatically scaled up range of the function value. Jmol and
Sage seem to try to plot the whole graph even at singularities, then
give up (at a level I don't know how to fix) but leave the picture
with the scaled up value range. Use the link above to see what I mean
would be useful sometimes. There the value range is simply cut at some
point. In the german wikipedia article on the exponential funcion it
is done in a similar way by Maple and the whole picture is scaled
equal in all dimensions. But I am going to make a new support question
out of that.

Thanks a lot.

Yours, littlemathteacher

[sage-support] 3dplotting complex functions

2009-05-30 Thread littlemathteacher

Dear Supporters,

first of all thanks to you all for doing such a great support job to
me so far.

Now I want to make complex analysis visible and to plot 3d-graphics
either of real or imaginary parts of functions.

The first step would be to plot the exponential function just like in
the german or the us wikipedia article, later to show the branch cuts
like in

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BranchCut.html

or the gamma function like in

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GammaFunction.html .

The reason why my attemps fail might lie somwhere in the defining of
variables and in the picking out of the real or the imaginary part.

I guess all I need is one working example of how to 3dplot let's say
complexplane X real part of the function value.

Starting from that example I could do the rest myself, but I didn't
find one yet.

Could you please post a link to an example?

Thanks a lot.

Yours, littlemathteacher

[sage-support] Re: Slackware/Zenwalk package

2009-04-26 Thread littlemathteacher

Dear Michael, dear Minh,

I had strongly underestimated the HD-space consumption of a sage
server. (I didn't look into the reader ...) Man, it is huge!

After re-partitioning my drive I ran the installer in a command line
session, like Minh has tought me.

It took somewhat between 15 and 18 hours.

Now sage is running on that old notebook. You who developed it did a
great job.

(I am very impressed by that software. I am going to hold some
tutorials for the kids at my german high school how to use sage and so
to have fun with math. My plan is to tell them that there are only two
basic commands you need to know at the beginning, that is the TAB (to
complete the command you guessed might work) and after that the
question mark and shift-enter to look up the usage. Yesterday I found
a third and a very exciting one: "search-doc". I think this one is
going to shift sage far beyond the limits of maplesoft and wolfram.)

Thanks a lot.

Markus

[sage-support] Re: Slackware/Zenwalk package

2009-04-24 Thread littlemathteacher


Dear Minh, dear Michael,

thanks a lot.

Thanks to Minh for this simple but fine idea to compile in a command
line session!

Meanwhile the RAM I had bought has arrived and with the now available
more than 300 MB I let the compiler run once again. This time it
seemed to "freeze" at the same point but I still heard the harddisc
working. So I went to bed and this morning the compilation is in fact
done, but with an error.

The simple but true reason is that there is no space left on the sda1
device, just as the installer told me. So there are still some options
left to get a local sage with Minh's manual, more RAM and more HD-
space.

I am going to report it to you here when the installation is
successfull.

Also I will look up Minh's wiki in which folder to place sage.

Thanks!

Markus

[sage-support] Re: Slackware/Zenwalk package

2009-04-23 Thread littlemathteacher

Dear Michael,

thanks.

When I returned home this evening the process and the whole system
seemed to be frozen as if by memory overload. I slowly tried to close
some applications and among them accidentally was the bash in which I
had opened the file manager (by su root) to cd into the sage folder in
order to run the "make" - and by chain reaction the file manager and
then the bash with the sage compilation closed.

So I can't even say that the compilation literally crashed or froze,
only that I am a little too stupid to let it do it's job.

Maybe it was wrong to put it into the lib folder. I am still new to
linux and this time a wanted sage not to live in any home directory.
Which linux folder would you recommend to extract sage into? Maybe it
was also wrong to run it from within a root bash while logged in as
user (but in ubuntu I did it just this way).

I made a compressed archive file out of the install.log and now I am
thinking about where to save is so that it can be linked to.

In the meantime maybe the last lines might be significant to you:

But please don't put too much effort into helping me make sage run on
this old notebook, Michael. I've got two other instances of sage
running fine. And I am getting more and more familiar with using the
sage notebook online. On the long run this might be better anyway for
most purposes.

Thanks again and have a nice evening (or whatever time it is now at
your location)!

[sage-support] Slackware/Zenwalk package

2009-04-23 Thread littlemathteacher

Greetings from Franconia.

I tried to use the compiler to build Sage in my Zenwalk system
(Zenwalk is based on Slackware Linux), but this time it did't work
(might be due to the antique hardware I am using this time).

I would like to put a request for a Zenwalk-package of Sage to the
Zenwalk commulity, because I consider myself not experienced enough to
build one.

Would it be o.k. to do that, I mean concerning legal matters?


Thanks

Well done.

I've built it from source. (To be honest, all you do is watch the
mighty programm building itself) It took a while, but Sage it running
very fast now.

But when it comes to plotting, Sage says Firefox hasn't enabled Java,
what is simply wrong. What shall I do?

Thanks for the help!

[sage-support] Re: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core TK-55. Which binary?

2009-02-13 Thread littlemathteacher

Dear Michael.

Thanks for the support. I'm going to try and build from source. By the
way I'm quite new into linux and haven't ever done such a thing, but
as in swimming or in mountain climbing for everyone someday the day
has come to do the thing on your own. So I have to face the fact that
tonight (it's 1:30 am in Germany) is the night.

Thanks.

Yours, littlemathteacher.

Sorry, I should mention that this machine has Ubuntu 8.04 (the one I'd
prefer) and also Vista (Longhorn) installed.

2009-02-13 Thread littlemathteacher

Dear users, dear Dr. Stein.

Thanks a lot for this great program.

Tonight I am trying to put sage up on an AMD Athlon 64 x2 TK-55 an I
don't know which binary to use. The one for opteron does not work.

Thaks a lot.

Yours,

[sage-support] Re: ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION sse4_pni

2009-02-13 Thread littlemathteacher

Thanks a lot. 3.2.3 is running fine without any error message. And it
is very impressive to me and my collegues. We're considering to load
it on our school server. The best thing for education and pupils is
that it is running in your browser and so you only have to copy and
paste a little and to know how to handle only two basic commands, as
there are the question mark and the TAB key. The rest is done for you
by Sage. So if you want to study and explore math you don't have to
master a certain command code any more. It' great and it's fun. And
one thing further: since more and more lectures in math and computer
science are stepping from commercial programs to sage our pupils might
be able to switch very easily from school math to college math and to
focus on the subject and not on obstructive and strange working tools.
For I believe that coding is a great way to understand math on a basic
and even on a philosophically adequate level, but math is not
essentially the same thing as coding and that in the end it should be
possible to study math without studying computer science. Well, that's
just an opinion ...

Thanks for the support by Dr. Stein himself. And greetings from
Germany to Dr. Stein and his team.

Yours,
littlemathteacher

[sage-support] Re: ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION sse4_pni

2009-01-31 Thread littlemathteacher

OK. Let me try to be precise. The information I gave in my post was
not correct.
I have installed

sage-3.2.2-ubuntu32bit-intel-i686-Linux

and I receive the error message "... ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION ... pni" but
however this version seems to be running well.

In order to try the next version I have taken the wrong file (the one
for xeon), as you have shown me. Great help. Thanks. I will try out
the one for PentiumM.

But what about the error message in my recent version (3.2.2)? Can
this problem do any harm to me? Until now I haven't found any bugs or
restrictions in my running version in spite of the error message ...
well, still I am using it only for a short time.

Thanks a lot.

[sage-support] ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION sse4_pni

2009-01-30 Thread littlemathteacher

I am running Sage 3.2.3 on an old Pentium 4 M with Ubuntu Linux for
some hours now and I am getting the well known ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION
message:
...
 The following processor
flags were on the build machine but are not on this computer:

sse4_1 pni

I am running Sage Notebook in my browser and as far I can see in these
few hours it works quite well. Do I have to change anything anyhow?
What is the problem?

Thanks a lot.
Yours,
littlemathteacher
