Michael, I put an ampersand at the end of this file: /Applications/Sage-2.5.app/Contents/MacOS/Sage-2.5 and now the jumping goes away. I think the best way to build the SAGE OS X app is to literally build it in place in that subdirectory instead of using a pre-built binary. This makes this

Here's a patch to implement one_element. You have to do "sage -ba" after applying it since the auto dependence checking in setup.py isn't good enough yet (any volunteers to fix it?). -- William --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel

Hi, I really liked being able to break down a factorization using the list method. Apparently this is not available in the current calculus package. I would like it to be added. I do not understand how the list method for the factorization of Polynomial_integer_dense is implemented or how to find

We're tentatively considering making having a fortran compiler a prerequisite for building SAGE from source. See below for the discussion, if you're interested. Basically, this will make it much easier for SAGE to be useful to a vast range of engineers that do numerical computation. --

Would it be better to have a UnitaryRing subclass? It'd be a bit more work but would be a bit more natural since not all rings have a unit. On 5/24/07, Nick Alexander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > David Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > On May 24, 2007, at 1:53 PM, Michel wrote: > > > >>

Another difference (in favor of Sage) is that Sage is that Sage is distributed as sourcecode, whereas the others are binary-only distributions. Usually, the binary programs sizes are much smaller that in source form. On 5/24/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Heh. To be fair, y
