I've been using sagemath throughout the semester with few problems, but I 
just can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my syntax here. 

    x = var('x')
    
    p(x) = x^3 – 3*x^2 + x - 1
    Dp(x) = derivative(p(x), x)
    
    plot(p(x), -1, 1)

I'm getting this error: 

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      File "_sage_input_2.py", line 10, in <module>

        __tmp__=var("x"); p = symbolic_expression(x**_sage_const_3  – 
_sage_const_3 *x**_sage_const_2  + (x - _sage_const_1 )).function(x)
                                                                    ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So appears that the function is in error...
