As you know, when you define a new variable: sage: a = 2
the value is not automatically displayed. So you have to: sage: a = a+3; a to display it. This is different to all other CAS's (at least to my knowledge), where a variable assignment automatically returns the result unless you ask it not to. Is there any way of coercing Sage into automatically returning the result of a variable assignment? This would be very handy for teaching.
