2010-03-09 Thread William Stein
Hi, I was playing around with using @interact in the Sage library and it almost works... and with one small hack it seems to work fine. You just have to know how to use it. As an example, put the following (see below) in a file such as SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/a.py, then do sage -br and

Hi folks, I have written a draft of a tutorial on functional programming for mathematicians. The tutorial is available on the Sage wiki [1], but you could also find it at Wordpress [2]. This is a redundancy measure in case the wiki is down. I invite you to comments on it or expand it as

[sage-devel] tutorial: en vs. fr versions

2009-09-08 Thread John H Palmieri
I just noticed that there are some differences between the English and French tutorials: first, they're written in totally different languages. No, sorry, just kidding. Actually, some paragraphs have been added to the English version without corresponding changes to the French version, like the

Hi all, The time for the Scipy'09 conference is rapidly approaching, and we would like to both announce the plan for tutorials and solicit feedback from everyone on topics of interest. Broadly speaking, the plan is something along the lines of what we had last year: one continuous 2-day

[sage-devel] tutorial: add something about functions vs. expressions, etc.?

2009-03-09 Thread John H Palmieri
It seems like specifying a function for plotting or differentiation is a common point of confusion. For example, see these threads (and I know there have been others): http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_frm/thread/ ffc9885afb72aa89/202abaf2135d8586?lnk=gstq=dean+moore

[sage-devel] tutorial: math questions about dirichlet characters

2008-05-30 Thread John H Palmieri
I'm working on rewriting the tutorial. Section 2.5.1 of the tutorial is about Dirichlet characters, and I have some questions: The introductory sentence discusses Dirichlet characters, and then the first example uses DirichletGroup. What is the connection? (I'm thinking that for fixed n and R,
