Depending on how technical you are, the easiest way by far is to set up a Sage server for them yourself, and then all they need on their windows boxes is a web browser and a password. I tried this, and I'm pretty techie, but found it was a huge hassle compared with just letting my students

[sage-support] emacs mode for sage

2010-10-11 Thread Martin Rubey
Dear all, I'm currently looking at sage-mode for emacs, but fail to find documentation. C-h m doesn't really reveil much. (or is there another canonical choice to use sage from within emacs?) I should add: this is mainly for a course I'm going to give this term... Thanks, Martin -- To post

I just discovered http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8978 does this imply that the binary on sagemath provided for suse 11.1 will not work on suse 11.2? Many thanks, Martin -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send

[sage-support] Elementary symmetric functions in Sage

2010-10-11 Thread James Parson
Dear sage-support, Is there a preferred built-in method for invoking elementary symmetric functions in Sage? The best that I could turn up was something like the following: sage: e = SFAElementary(QQ) sage: e([2]).expand(3) x0*x1 + x0*x2 + x1*x2 That is very nice, but when I tried to automate

I think the problem is that e([0]) is not defined. This works: for i in range(1,4): print(e([i]).expand(3)) x0 + x1 + x2 x0*x1 + x0*x2 + x1*x2 x0*x1*x2 For more advanced answers you might want to ask on the sage-combinat group. Cheers, Marshall Hampton On Oct 11, 9:24 pm, James Parson
