Hi. Checking out sage, and it's amazing. I'm a bit overwhelmed by its size, though... I intend to use it to handle some of the messy algebraic manipulations while I work on combinatorics. Can anyone help with these questions:
1) When I enter a sum in sage: > h = sum(h_m, m, 1, 2*n)/2*n # h_m is already defined in terms of m and n sage gives me an answer in closed algebraic form. That's great. But I'd like to know how it simplified it. Is there anyway to have Sage "show it's work"? That is, show the steps it took to rewrite my sum into the closed form . (As a beginner, I'm not sure if I'm using Sage right - so it's very important for me to be able to verify what it does.) 2) Now, when I tell sage to display h, it displays it in simplified form. Great. But I'd also like to be able to print out the original definition - how can I do that? In general, both of these questions relate to the same concern: Sage is great; but I don't want to follow it blindly. I'd like to be able to query what I put in, what Sage converted it to, and how. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
