I've logged onto the MAA website twice now and don't even see the March CMJ 
available online, let alone that article. I hope it becomes available soon.

You might want to try this link to JSTOR:

How rude! I pay for online access to MAA magazines (specifically!) and 
can't see it yet from the MAA's own website, but for an extra $12 I can buy 
it from JSTOR, and see a preview for free? X-O

There's a complaint to the MAA somewhere in this, if only I can be roused 
to make it... ;-)

Re: [sage-edu] Extreme graphing

2013-03-06 Thread John Travis
Just for the fun of it, I was playing with:

@interact
def _(m=slider(1,250,1,1)):
  plot(x^m/e^x,(x,0,2*m)).show()

and things work really nice till m = 128.  After that, it still runs but 
the graph has horizontal issues--using either aleph or 5.5.

I believe there has been a break down in communication.  I chose the
link to JSTOR because it gave me a free preview to the paper in
question.  And it's the preview that I read to ascertain that the
paper does indeed talk about Sage.  I do try to verify that a paper
talks about Sage before I list the paper on the publications list.
Didn't mean to be rude in any way.  Just thought you might like a
preview of the paper because I couldn't find a preview or abstract on
MAA's website.  My apology.

You're right that there's a breakdown; I seem to have given you the wrong 
impression. You were not rude at all. The "rudeness" is in the MAA, who 
provide access to other paying customers but not their own members. & even 
that is meant tongue-in-cheek.
