Do you need that from the command line, or in the notebook? I use the new sage notebook, that works without Sage, and it works nice with sympy. In isympy, it's just an ipython and that works in the command line. As to plots, I just use matplotlib directly and that works nice both in the command line and in the notebook. We currently don't have a mathematica-like plot command (like Sage has) in sympy (currently it uses pyglet and it is not so versatile), but I think we should implement it, it should work like in Sage, that it returns an object with a _plot_ method (or _show_, not remember now) and the notebook calls this automatically and plots the result. In the ipython (e.g. if you run Sage from the command line), I think sage also does the same. If I'll be glad to help you implement/polish the missing details in sympy, so that it does what you want. > > Regards, > Eric Drechsel > http://wiki.shared.dre.am/people/eric Nice, you study in Portland, OR?
