Hello, I'd like to mention a new book using Sage I co-authored, that got released last week.
It is in Polish and covers all mathematics topics from high school, according to the current core curriculum in Poland. It is not a textbook, but supplemental material, which aims to wake up the imagination on the way to proper understanding of mathematics topics. This is why decided to use mathematical package to remove the burden of calculations, and this is why we also decided to use lot of references to pop-culture and imagined stories - sea snake named Ssstefan approaching the Viking ship helps to understand function transformations, Brian the crocodile tamer helps to see overlapping intervals. We covered all major interfaces (Cell, Cloud, Notebook, iPhone, Android apps). It is 352 pages, typeset using PDFLaTeX+SageTeX package (we had to adjust it a bit, because we decided to save images in SVG and then convert to TikZ using https://github.com/kjellmf/svg2tikz - for 3D graphics we decided to output png from Tachyon and then added overlay in TikZ, which was more tricky, but also worked). It would be cool if our book could be mentioned on http://www.sagemath.org/library-publications.html#books - and it would be also very helpful if we could hear some opinions. Especially, that we have some plans on making an English version in the future - and any opportunity to improve would be great (we need to find some budget for professional translation service, as there are jokes and ideas in the book that do not translate 1-1). Below are some release informations: Authors: Andrzej Giniewicz, Katarzyna Zajączkowska Title: "Zrozumieć matematykę z pakietem Sage" (translation: "Understand mathematics with the Sage package") Publisher: GiS (http://www.gis.wroc.pl/) ISBN: 978-83-62780-42-6 Year: 2015 Web page: http://www.eurekacode.com/matematyka Sorry, but web pages are in Polish. It is kind of self-promotion, but I think it is still relevant. (btw, do we have separate list for such announcements?) We are looking forward to hearing some opinions, Thanks, Andrzej Giniewicz & Katarzyna Zajączkowska. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
