[sage-devel] SAGE64

2010-12-29 Thread Justin C. Walker
Hi, all, When I run, say, 4.6, I get this printout prior to the sage banner: Detected SAGE64 flag Building Sage on OS X in 64-bit mode Is this necessary? There's no build underway, and I imagine that it could be disconcerting to someone who is not comfortable with the development aspects of S

Whatever we use here for matrices, I'd like to do the same thing for vectors over CDF (see related post from a few minutes ago). "conjugate_transpose" is a bit odd for vectors, since Sage carries no notion of vectors being rows or columns. And it wouldn't make sense to me to use .adjoint() on a ve

[sage-devel] Linear Algebra over CDF

2010-12-29 Thread Rob Beezer
I'd like to improve the current state of the linear algebra code over CDF (and by extension, over RDF). The purpose would be to make Sage more usable for teaching various topics involving matrices with complex entries and orthogonal vectors (thus introducing square roots). You can actually do qui

Hi! I just noticed that my patch from #10296 (ready for review, improving the communication with singular via pexpect) had bit rotted. Of course, the patchbot knew that the old patch did not apply to the current Sage version. Could the patchbot be modified à la "nagbot" and inform the author of
