Well, not even scripts behave well when the OS goes down. The problem here is not that Sage messes up the notebooks, even in a big, bad way; that can happen with any software. The problem is that, even though I have made manual backups, it's going to take hours of work to fix it. And it takes

I never have any luck with plotting in Sage. The simplest plots fail. For example the following plot(20*log(abs((1+I*x)^4+4),10),(x,0,3)) fails with TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number I don't see what's wrong with it. -- To post to this group, send email to
