Hi, One nuisance in mathematics is the "ln(x)" notation for natural logarithms by students up to a certain age, followed by the "log(x)" notation used for exactly the same thing after a certain age. So I've always taken great pride that in Sage (and most other math software), "log" is the right grown up thing. So imagine how annoyed I was just now to find in Sage-4.1.1 that:
sage: latex(log(x)) \ln\left(x\right) What the heck is up with that typesetting as "ln"? Besides being annoying, this is inconsistent because log(x) prints as "log(x)" in sage. sage: log(x) log(x) Does anybody mind if this gets changed back? I'm guessing it was introduced by accident because of Pynac somehow during the symbolic switchover, but maybe there is something more to it that I missed? -- William -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
