I think that part of the problem being highlighted here is that the OVA’s that are provided all open a virtual linux browser to access Sage. I use Sage for undergraduate teaching at Queen’s University Belfast which is predominantly Windows based so that we use Sage in a VirtualBox, but have adap

RE: [sage-support] Factorial Carry Value in Python

2013-11-14 Thread Anthony Wickstead
I know of nothing built in to Sage, but this is easy to write. The following seems to work, even if it isn't very elegant: def factrep(nn): n=nn i=1 while factorial(i)<=n: i+=1 i-=1 ans=[] while i>0: d=n//factorial(i) ans.append(d) n-=d*fact

2012-08-20 Thread Anthony Wickstead
Can't help with Sage, but Mathematica 8.0 has no function SymmetricReduce. It does have SymmetricReduction: SymmetricReduction[f,{Subscript[x, 1],...,Subscript[x, n]}] gives a pair of polynomials {p,q} in Subscript[x, 1],...,Subscript[x, n] such that f==p+q, where p is the symmetric part and q

2012-03-16 Thread Anthony Wickstead
But in your example the first range is empty. I changed the exclude value to [1..2,3..4] and again the first interval is fine and the second wrong. Tony Thanks for this bug report. Sometimes this happens even for the first range. sage: plot(sin(pi*x)^cos(pi*x),(x,0,4),exclude=[pi..2,3..4],ymax

[sage-support] Excluding range from plot

2012-03-16 Thread Anthony Wickstead
I am trying to understand the behaviour of the option exclude in plot() when a range of values is included. It looks to me that if a simple range like "exclude=[pi..2*pi]" is used and the function is defined and real-valued in that range then the end points and integer points between are excl

[sage-support] Two problems using SageTex on Sage 4.7.2

2011-12-16 Thread Anthony Wickstead
A few months ago I experimented with SageTex using Sage 4.7.1 on a virtual machine running on my windows PC and got everything working with little difficulty. I now have had a real Iinux server set up for me running Sage 4.7.2. I have been very careful to replace my old sagetex.sty and remote-saget

I am trying to upgrade my Sage 4.7.1 installation using "./sage - upgrade" [and also using "upgrade()" from within sage]. After checking mirrors, telling me that six packages will be upgraded and warning me that it could take hours, the upgrade aborts with the message "There are uncommitted change

I had exactly the same problem recently with a Dell Latitude D410 laptop that is about 6 years old. In that case it only complained about pni. In the end I (reluctantly) created ny own VirtualBox installation of Linux and compiled Sage from source. I have to say that once you have Linux installed (

Thanks for the help. I was trying to avoid building Sage from source as I am not all that Linux-literate, but I did try the current source and it compiled and ran OK except for not creating .html files as 'makefile' v4.7 or later is needed to make HTML docs but missing on your system Apparently t
