Jason, its great that you brought out this issue about inconsistent syntax.
It would be really good if we make some efforts to make sage syntax
more consistent.
For example,
(1) integral and numerical_integral:
integral( sin(x), x, 0, pi) is valid syntax but
numerical_integration(sin(x), x, 0, pi) is not.
(2) desolve and desolve_laplace
desolve ( f(x).diff(x,2) + f(x) == 0, f(x), [0, 0, 1] ) is valid
desolve_laplace with same arguments raises error
and there are many more.
I guess, in most cases only minor tweaks are needed.
It reminds me the success of Ubuntu. Under the hood its like
any other Linux distro but little tweaks at the user interaction
level to make it more coherent, greatly improves its usability.
Cheers,
Golam
