[sage-support] Why this difference with mpmath numerical differentiation?

2011-12-01 Thread Guilherme
Hello, At first mpmath seemed to give me right results for numerical differentiation of some transcendental equations. These functions are related to the natural vibration modes of a fixed- fixed beam. Normally I can differentiate analytically to get the slope and inflection points. While trying

Hi Mr. Widmann and Mr Braun, Thanks for your responses, sorry my reply has been slow. I'll try out your distro during the week Mr. Widmann, I ran out of cap last month :S. The Read Me I was referring to was both of the Read Me's on the Sage download site. I can't remember which one I'm afraid. As

Hello, Let S be a symbolic expression of a certain number of variables taken from a particular set of variables. How do I find out the list of the distinct variables that S depends on? Suppose {x0,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9} is a set of unknowns and S = x1 + x3*x4 + x5*x7*x9. I need to find the sub

Short answer: This is safe as long as you keep the networking settings ("NAT") in the virtual machine the way they are set up. Only the host computer can access the virtual machine if the networking is set to NAT, so just like ssh port forwarding no other computer on the network can access the
