Lacking numpy support is really one of the big flaws of Sage since Numpy,Scipy et al form a marvelous Matlab replacement. And I hope truly that we get to Python 3 some time. Since Python has full UTF8 support writing if α < γ*ε: return σ is not a dream anymore Nevertheless the Sage notebook is really good to work in combination with Scipy since you can make a quite good presentation of your results -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
