On top of that, explaining the notation to an (average) freshman calculus student is infinitely worse than having to explain it in a paper. Also, functions in Sage do have variable names bound to their dummy variables, so it's not entirely ambiguous. We could make it a printing option on latex objects though. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
