I can tell some things that I know how to do in Mathematica but don't know how to do in sage. Here are two such for starters. 1. ListPlot http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/ListPlot.html The function ListPlot plots a list of numbers, or ordered pairs of numbers. So to illustrate the central limit theorem we can simply write: Table[Sum[Random[],{10}],{1000}]//Sort//ListPlot This generates 1000 sums X_1+...+X_10, with X_i uniform in the unit interval; sorts these sums; and then plots the resulting list, giving a very convincing graph (turned on its side) of the cumulative distribution for a Gaussian random variable. 2. Listable http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Listable.html The attribute Listable enables automatic threading over lists, including nested lists and specifically matrices. In[15]:= N[{{1,2},{3,4}}] Out[15]= {{1., 2.}, {3., 4.}} In[16]:= Log[{{1,2},{3,4}}] Out[16]= {{0, Log[2]}, {Log[3], Log[4]}} In[24]:= barf[{{1,2},{3,4}}] Out[24]= barf[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}] In[25]:= SetAttributes[barf,Listable] In[26]:= barf[{{1,2},{3,4}}] Out[26]= {{barf[1], barf[2]}, {barf[3], barf[4]}} Cheers, Peter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
