I don't buy it, for lectures are often much less interactive compared to using Sage. We're talking about being able to have rings.integral_domains.DVR() instead of rings.integral_domains.DiscreteValuationRing() (well, we don't have rings.TAB, but we do have graphs.TAB, with plenty of graphs.BlahBlahGraph() there) > Jeroen. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
