Hello, I'm new to sage,
I have tried to adapt the maple.py interface to obtain a giac interface for sage. The current version is there: http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~han/xcas/giac.py one needs a recent giac program. (this week, giac --sage should gives a working session) . Bernard parisse updated the spkg there: http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/giac/giac-0_9_1.spkg Things like this work after a: from giac import giac giac.normal? (tab completion also) f=giac('x+1') (f*f).normal() R.<x,y>=QQ[] f=(x+y)^5 f2=giac(f) f2.factor() x,y,z=giac('x'),giac('y'),giac('z') f=(x+y+z+1/3)^5;(f^2).normal() giac.int(1/(cos(2*x)+cos(x)),x,0,'pi/4').simplify() Can someone help me for the following problems? -element of the symbolic ring need to be quoted. Ex pi/4 in the giac.int -(z+1)^2 works but not z+sqrt(5) -import a sage matrix to giac() Ex: m=matrix(2,3,range(6)) should be translated to: matrix([[0,1,2], [3,4,5]]) or [[0,1,2],[3,4,5]] to be properly evaluated. (vectors should be translated to things like this [1,2,3] ) -giac.sum('k','k') doesn't do giac('sum(k,k)') Best Frederic -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
