thanks for this. You might be amused by what my colleague said about SAGE, when we were talking about whether or not using numpy:
"SAGE is like the British train system: you have to worry about which company to use." Coming from a french person, this is actually extremely negative. But i thought it would give an idea of an opinion that's around, and feedback is always good, right ? pierre On 19 juin, 15:59, Jason Grout <jason-s...@creativetrax.com> wrote: > Harald Schilly wrote: > > On Jun 19, 12:50 pm, Pierre <pierre.guil...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> i know numpy does it, so is it there for sage matrices also ? > > > i don't think so, how is the numpy syntax?
