Justin (cc: sage-devel), There are now a lot of people using Sage on OSX who don't know (much) about the command line, but who are maple/mathematica users. When they try: sage: mathematica('2+2') they get a big error message about creating a math script, etc., and similarly for Maple. It

I seem to remember that Maple has a function unapply which when applied to a symbolic expression with one variable, returns a callable function, e.g. unapply(t*cos(0)) would return a callable function t - t*cos(0). I cannot remember if it could handle symbolic expressions with more than one

Hi everyone, I frequently want to get column vectors, and vector([2, 3]).transpose () is not implemented. One then thinks of matrix(vector([2, 3])).transpose(), but matrix() is a little rigid. Looking at vector, there is a protocol that calls _vector_() if possible; I would like that to

Ack, I'm an idiot. The functionality is there in matrix(), I just need to add _matrix_ to the vector classes. Will do that instead :) BTW, the matrix() documentation is not right -- it doesn't say this. Nick On Dec 17, 8:30 pm, Nick Alexander [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, I
