[sage-support] Re: Singular interface

2007-05-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I believe I was using R1 = singular.ring(0, '(x,y)', 'dp') - which I tried again from a new session at work and it works without complaint. I'll try to see what I was doing at home that was causing the trouble; thanks for all the help and clarification. On May 21, 10:54 am, Martin Albrecht

[sage-support] Re: sage-vmware : make error installing lie-2.2.2.p1

2007-05-21 Thread William Stein
Lie requires curses to build, and evidently that isn't installed into sage-vmware. Login via manage (at the login prompt) and type sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev then sudo sage -i lie-2.2.2.p1 and it will work. In the future SAGE-vmware will include libncurses. To use lie, start the

John, What William wrote will work, but I'm very curious what people actually want to do with the calculus software. If you give me some specifics on what you want to do, I'll work on adding it to SAGE natively, so that you're not forced to use Maxima. ~Bobby On 5/20/07, William Stein [EMAIL

I, for one, would like surface plots, even if it is slow, using openmath or matplotlib (which SAGE has already). Is there a reason we can't do that? Bobby Moretti wrote: John, What William wrote will work, but I'm very curious what people actually want to do with the calculus software. If

How can I get sage to print the numeric value of an expression such as, cos(3)? Also is there a way to switch between 'radian' and 'degree' modes like in some calculators? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com

Fair enough. A previous discussion led me to believe the goal was for more transparent rings. Have you considered supporting something like the following? cos(3).toreal() On May 21, 9:12 pm, David Joyner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Brian Harris wrote: How can I get sage to print the numeric
