Hey Joel,
> I'm wondering if we could have an update on the basic calculus rewrite > which > was discussed a while ago on the mailing list? I gave a very brief talk about this at SAGE Days 3. You can see my slides at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/moretti/days3/talks/calculus.pdf if you haven't already. Currently, nearly everything that was discussed in our thread has been implemented. Of course, for every piece that has been implemented, it seems like we discover several other missing features that we didn't think originally discuss. Still, the basic functionality is there. I'm currently working on fixing a few issues (making plotting work correctly, making a seamless transition between symbolic and numerical computation, and fixing a lot of bugs). I'm going to be sending William a patch very soon (by tomorrow) to be included with the next version of SAGE. I can send you a patch as well, if you'd like some more time to play around with it/prepare your talk. I'm giving a talk on SAGE in a week and I might want to have a basic > calculus > demo if it's ready to show. > > I'm also wondering what are the most common usage methods of SAGE: > 1) notebook > 2) command line sage prompt > 3) file.sage or file.py scripts > Other methods??? > My own personal favorite is #3 and I use the sage prompt to figure out > what > command to use in my scripts and do very quick checks. I don't really > expect > everyone to reply with their vote, but I'd appreciate if a few people did > (especially people who see other people use sage). > As far as this goes, I use a mix of all three. The notebook is nice for the reasons mentioned by others. The command line is nice for when I need to just test a couple simple lines. The attachment method I use occasionally, since for me, writing long pieces of code in the notebook is annoying (indentation is a pain). ~Bobby -- Bobby Moretti [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
