Hi Dan,
You are totally right. The problem is that Sage can't start maxima.
Here is part of the output when I typed
sage: var('x k w')
(x, k, w)
sage: f = x^3 * e^(k*x) * sin(w*x); f
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call
last)
...
RuntimeError: Unable to start maxima
So, I guess I need to fix this first (how I don't know). right?
