As you've noted, this is possible to get around. Also, if there is something which SHOULD be in the global namespace, you should ask about it on sage-support or sage-devel - likely we just forgot to do it thus far. > 2/ Sage forces to declare symbolic variables, Maple not Yes, though as you noted this is easy to overcome with a custom file (not sure how it would work with a server). Don't forget y and z! > 3/ Object in Sage are finest than Maple way as 0*aMatrix Can you expand on what you mean by "finest"? > 4/ The sage lists aren't the usual lisp-list Perhaps rhs and lhs should be imported in global namespace? Maybe this would be a bad idea though. Certainly many computer users today are not used to lisp lists, at any rate. > 5/ Some "basis" mathematics are missing in sage. [I don't yet have the > complete list] Please let us know what basic math is not in Sage - it would be very important to rectify this as soon as possible. It *is* definitely possible that some of what you are looking for is there, but not optimally wrapped. > Computer|Sage|Python players don't imagine how some people dislike to > change their own use of any system. Hmm, this is just the human condition :) Thanks for your detailed feedback! And good luck learning more about how Sage does what *you* need it to do. - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
