When I attended the Sage education day at the Clay Math Institute, I
had a brief conversation with Rob Beezer about how he was converting
his linear algebra textbook into a Sage notebook (maybe I'm not saying
that quite right). I have lots and lots of notes for various courses
that I teach that I wrote using LaTeX. Next semester, I'd like to
begin incorporating Sage into my Calculus courses. Many of my
calculus notes have figures (some elaborate but most not) that I
created using TikZ. Would it be possible for me to convert my current
course notes into a Sage notebook and preserve most of the formatting
and TikZ figures? What I would like to do is to take what I have and
build on it. I'd probably start by incorporating some @interacts.
I am *really* interested in seeing these calculus notes. What class
specifically?
If you have latex installed on the sage server, it can format and
display latex figures in the notebook. In fact, there is an option to
draw graphs using TikZ and display the result (Rob Beezer did a lot of
work on that...). See the example about halfway down on
http://mvngu.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/sage-4-0-2-released/ (under the
Graph Theory section).
Thanks,
Jason
