>> So, for example, write a function that will return a list of the reciprocals of the values in list L. Now write a function, harmonic(n), that will return the nth harmonic number making use of the previous reciprocal function. Yeah, I had to ask just the right questions, and it was a lot of work, but wow, they were getting it! They could see the connections. There are some kids in there who have always hated math and thought they couldn't do it but who are starting to light up with this. So this was encouraging. <<
Sounds like the MATLAB/Octave approach to manipulating data with functions. COuld you show some more details as to how you did this with SAGE/python? TIA, A.
