What do the following mean?
I'll bite: > (sin+cos)(1) sin(1) + cos(1) > (sin+1)(1) sin(1) + 1 > (pow+atan2)(1, 2) 1^2 + atan2(1,2) > (sin+cos)(1, 2) Error message. > (pow+atan2)(1) Error message. > (pow+sin)(1) Error message > (pow+sin)(1, 2) Error message. > (pow+sin+1)(1) Error message. Basically in each case distribute the call to the operands, and then add the result. -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
