Hi William,
I just stumbled over this message and found that the following is even
faster:
var('t')
W(t)=95*sqrt(t)*sin(t/6)^2
R(t)=275*sin(t/3)^2
F = (W-R)._fast_float_('t')
def A(t):
return 1200 + numerical_integral(F,0,t)[0]
plot(A, (t,0,18))
For reasons I have still not understood, fast_float works faster if the
variables are set in quotation marks. I still can't find anything about
fast_float in the Sage Reference Manual. For example, I would like to
know how something like this is handled:
var('a t')
F = fast_float(a*t^2 + a*t + a, 'a', 't')
How would I plot F or find its root for a fixed a? plot(F(1,t),(t,-1,1))
does not work, nor does find_root(F(1,t), -1, 1).
Thanks for your help!
Stan
