Thanks a lot. 3.2.3 is running fine without any error message. And it is very impressive to me and my collegues. We're considering to load it on our school server. The best thing for education and pupils is that it is running in your browser and so you only have to copy and paste a little and to know how to handle only two basic commands, as there are the question mark and the TAB key. The rest is done for you by Sage. So if you want to study and explore math you don't have to master a certain command code any more. It' great and it's fun. And one thing further: since more and more lectures in math and computer science are stepping from commercial programs to sage our pupils might be able to switch very easily from school math to college math and to focus on the subject and not on obstructive and strange working tools. For I believe that coding is a great way to understand math on a basic and even on a philosophically adequate level, but math is not essentially the same thing as coding and that in the end it should be possible to study math without studying computer science. Well, that's just an opinion ...
Thanks for the support by Dr. Stein himself. And greetings from Germany to Dr. Stein and his team.
