[sage-support] Approximate decimal answers

When using Sage. my students really like using the n() method as in show(sqrt(2).n(digits=50)) giving the result rounded off to 50 decimal digits after the decimal point. What I'm wondering is where does the n() method come from. Is it peculiar to Sage or Maxima or what? Is it pure python? The r

Hello, i find Sage distributions downloadable from its web site huge, and most likely i will never need most of the functions. Is it possible to install only the core, and download needed packages on demand? Thank you, Alexey. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the G

I'd like to obtain something like f11 = function('f11', t,r) f12 = function('f12', t,r) f21 = function('f21', t,r) f22 = function('f22', t,r) M = matrix(2,2, [[f11, f12], [f21, f22]]) Note that in principle all the functions depend on the same variables. If the assignation of functions could be

[sage-support] Filling a matrix with functions

2015-03-24 Thread Oscar Alberto Castillo Felisola
Hi. I know that one can define a function by declaring sage: f = function('f', t,r) However, I'm interested in declaring a matrix filled with different functions. Of course, for a small matrix I can do it by hand, but for "huge" matrices it is boring and make no sense. Is it possible to do wh
