Python both the language that much of Sage is written in, and the user interface to Sage, so I would recommend keeping a Python resource handy for basic stuff like this. For example, http:// docs.python.org/ and http://www.diveintopython.org/ are both pretty good. Note that Sage preparses things a bit to make it a nicer math language, so 2^3 becomes exponentiation (instead of xor) and 1/3 is the rational number 1/3, not 0 or 0.33333333333 as it is in pure Python. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
