Hi Sage-Devel, If you don't sites like "digg" delete this message.
Some of you who read Digg (http://digg.com) might find the front page right now interesting, since the top article is on Mathematica easter eggs. The comments are here: http://digg.com/design/Using_Mathematica_to_decorate_Easter_Eggs The linked to article is: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/03/08/using-mathematica-to.html Half the comments are of the form "[Mathematica|Wolfram] Sucks", and none have any content. Anyway, I tried to make an easter egg for a few seconds in Sage and didn't get far: var('s,t') g(s) = abs(sin(1-s)+0.01*sin(2*(1-s))) def P(color, rng): return parametric_plot3d( (cos(t)*g(s), sin(t)*g(s), s), (s,rng[0],rng[1]), (t,0,2*pi), color=color) sum([P(clr, r) for clr, r in [('red',(-2.1,-1.8)), ('purple',(-1.8,1))]]) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alfredo Portes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 10:51 PM Subject: Digg To: William Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This just hit the first page of Digg. http://www.boingboing.net/2008/03/08/using-mathematica-to.html Interesting that the first comment in the page is from a "new user" to Sage (Tom) :) Regards, Alfredo -- 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
