You could use
all(s in T for s in S)
to do the job. It might be faster to use another mechanism, but the
above does shortcut (i.e., it stops when an element is found in S that
is not in T).
Alternatively, you could calculate the set difference S \ T and check
that is empty; that might be faster.
Do you know how to use the timeit command?
sage: timeit('all(s in T for s in S)')
625 loops, best of 3: 10.1 µs per loop
sage: timeit('S.difference(T)==Set([])')
625 loops, best of 3: 26.2 µs per loop
sage: timeit('len(S.difference(T))==0')
625 loops, best of 3: 21.4 µs per loop
Python still has this beat, though:
sage: S_python = set(S)
sage: T_python = set(T)
sage: timeit('S_python.issubset(T_python)')
625 loops, best of 3: 755 ns per loop

However
sage: timeit('set(S).issubset(set(T))')
gives me very similar times to the first option (all(s in T for s in
S)). So if I start with Sage sets, I don't seem to gain much by
converting back to python sets for this (not to mention that if S = Set
(ZZ), then set(S) runs into problems...).

Okay. My point was that the subset routine in python is an order of
magnitude faster than the above attempts at a Sage subset routine, so
hopefully we could do better than the above attempts at a subset routine
for Sage subsets. Sorry, I should have made that clearer.
Thanks,
Jason

The Sage enumerated Set type is just a light wrapper around Python's
"frozenset" type with more sage/mathematical semantics. Just delegate
to that for implementing is_subset:
sage: X = Set([1..10])
sage: Y = Set([1..20])
sage: X._Set_object__object.issubset(Y._Set_object__object)
True
sage: Y._Set_object__object.issubset(X._Set_object__object)
False
sage: timeit('X._Set_object__object.issubset(Y._Set_object__object)')
625 loops, best of 3: 2.07 µs per loop
sage: X._Set_object__object
frozenset([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
sage: type(X)
In the actual code for is_subset, you'll have
self.__object
instead of self._Set_object__object, since of course the above example
uses the command line so __ methods are mangled.
The one interesting wrinkle will be doing, e.g.,
sage: X.is_subset(Set(ZZ))
where the Y = Set(ZZ) isn't an enumerated set. There you have to
check each X for membership in Y.

Robert,
Is there any reason not to just *always* use topoly_solver? I.e.,
maybe Sage's solve should
just 100% always only call topoly_solver. What do you think?

[sage-support] Jumpy Notebook on Mac OS X
Hi, all, When using the Notebook interface on Mac OS X, I find that once the cells have filled the visible part of a web page, the notebook becomes somewhat difficult to deal with. Specifically, if I have an @interact, and modify the slider, the content of the page shifts down, obscuring the output of the @interact. The amount of shifting seems to depend on the amount of other cell space below the @interact output. This is using Mac OS X, 10.5.6 and the version of Safari that comes with it. I see the same behavior with FireFox 2.0 (latest version). Is there some configuration foo that I'm missing? Thanks! Justin -- Justin C.

I guess one could invent heuristics -- e.g. try to_poly_solve first and if it can't find anything then try solve. Of course such heuristics could be applied within solve itself (and there are already some in place to handle different kinds of equations). If you 'd like to press for modify solve to call to_poly_solve, then I'll encourage you to take it up on the Maxima mailing list.

I wish. For fun, you might try putting return true; at the top of the function cell_focus in the file devel/sage/sage/server/notebook/js.py and rebuilding sage and restarting the notebook (and refreshing your browser window). All jumping should then be entirely disabled. What does it feel like? Do you like it better? Should this be a trivial-to-set option? I've done the above sometimes when giving talks.

This is a known problem and there is a trac ticket for it. The problem is that the notebook height changes briefly when an interact is updated, which means that the browser automatically scrolls up, but then doesn't scroll back down. A work-around is to create enough empty cells below the interact. A better solution, noted on the trac ticket, is to make a div that is a screen high at the end of the notebook. This would also allow you to have the last cell at the top of the screen, which would be very handy for presentations too. At least MMA lets you scroll down so that the last cell is at the top of the screen.

I was just searching trac too. I can't find anything. The mailing list discussion is here, though (I found this by searching sage-devel for "interact jump"): http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/51b538c8212fa2a/b61655921eb0ebab From the discussion, it looks like a trac ticket never was created (I thought one was). I just created #4963 for it. If this doesn't get done by SD12, I'll try to do it then.

I spent some time debugging this a few months ago, but never did anything about it. Marshall, if you're reading this, this would make a great project for your student if he wants to learn more about html and contribute something quickly.

[sage-support] Having difficulty using polyfit function
I am having trouble using the polyfit function. Here are the commands: import numpy as np import scipy as sc vp = np.array([1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0, 60.0, 100.0, 200.0, 400.0, 760.0]) T = np.array([-36.7, -19.6, -11.5, -2.6, 7.6, 15.4, 26.1, 42.2, 60.6, 80.1]) (a,b,c,d) = np.polyfit(vp,T,3) and I get the following error message which I don't understand. Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/notebook/sage_notebook/worksheets/admin/7/code/7.py", line 7, in (a,b,c,d) = np.polyfit(vp,T,_sage_const_3 ) File "/usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ zope.interface-3.3.0-py2.5-linux-i686.egg/", line 1, in File "/usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/lib/ polynomial.py", line 493, in polyfit rcond = len(x)*finfo(x.dtype).eps File "/usr/local/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/lib/ getlimits.py", line 98, in __new__ raise ValueError, "data type %r not inexact" % (dtype) ValueError: data type not inexact I have checked www.scipy.org with the associated documentation, the sage help documentation, the numpy docs and it appears that I am using the function correctly. I'm stumped... I'm interested in developing an online class using sage for chemical engineering calculations.

You must explicitly make the Numpy array's have dtype float as numpy
does not automatically convert Sage's RealNumber to a float. If you
don't do this, the array's dtype will be "object'.
sage: vp = np.array([1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0, 60.0, 100.0, 200.0,
400.0, 760.0],dtype=float)
sage: T = np.array([-36.7, -19.6, -11.5, -2.6, 7.6, 15.4, 26.1, 42.2,
60.6, 80.1], dtype=float)
sage: np.polyfit(vp,T,3)
array([ 1.13148994e-06, -1.49004659e-03, 6.12784745e-01,
-2.13934587e+01])
There are other ways to achieve a similar effect such as turning off
the Sage preparser with "preparser(False)" or making Sage's RealNumber
an alias of float ("RealNumber = float").

Your example seems to work if you declare your arrays like: vp = np.array([1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0, 60.0, 100.0, 200.0, 400.0,760.0],dtype=float) T = np.array([-36.7, -19.6, -11.5, -2.6, 7.6, 15.4, 26.1, 42.2, 60.6, 80.1],dtype=float) The "dtype" at the end makes sure that the numbers are python floating point numbers, rather than Sage floating point numbers.
