That's the reason I didn't post it anywhere else. I knew nothing about this stuff until a month ago, and would not feel comfortable making it look "official" before others look it over.

I It's on my todo list to do so, but I haven't got to it. I'm sure Mike Hansen will look at it too. I think a summary of his instructions would go well in the docstring for notebook? and hence in the official reference manual. Where better to look for full details on how to setup the notebook than in notebook? -- William > would envision that there would be a small link somewhere on a > download page with "Interested in setting up a Sage server?" or > something.

[sage-edu] Sage 3.1.1 liveCD
OK, I was trying out the liveCD and it seems like a nice way to have a Sage environment on the fly. It can set up a notebook() environment rather quickly. I ran into a few problems: For example, I can use plot() without a problem. However, if I try plot3d() I get an error about needing to install java. I assume this is the JRE and that its needed to run jMol applets. Also, I tried tachyon() and I don't even get an error, tachyon() isn't even in the help system (plot? gives help, plot3d? gives help, tachyon? doesn't). I'm wondering if this is typical of version 3.1.1 in general, or are these problems inherent in the liveCD only, or am I doing something wrong? TIA, A.

Alfredo,
You should install java into the livecd so 3d-plotting works.

How did you "try tachyon"? Did you do
var('x,y')
plot3d(x^3 + y^2, viewer='tachyon')

The java problem is specific to the live cd.

[sage-edu] Re: Sage 3.1.1 liveCD
OOPs, tachyon does work. I tried the following and all is well:
x,y=var('x,y')
a=plot3d(x**2+y**2, (x,-10,10), (y,-10,10))
show(a,viewer='tachyon')
Is tachyon the only 3d viewer on the liveCD then?
Also, why doesn't tachyon? give any help?
TIA,
