[sage-devel] not specifying vars for derivative of single-var functions?

2011-01-24 Thread Dan Drake
What's the current thinking regarding derivative() and functions of a single variable? Right now, you don't need to specify a variable if the function only depends on one variable, so the following works: sage: f(x) = x^3 + 1 sage: derivative(f) x |--> 3*x^2 sage: f.derivative()

I have recently compiled sage-4.6.1 for opensuse 11.3 (see below for details). I would be happy to upload the resulting binary distribution, but have not been able to find either instructions on how to do this or an admonition that such contributions are unwelcome. Where should I look? Details:

Is this still the case in the latest Sage? A similar such bug was fixed not so long ago in Maxima, and we upgraded. If not, yes, file a Sage ticket. - kcrisman On Jan 24, 12:16 pm, Francois Maltey wrote: > Hello, > > I test > > sage: var ('n,k') > sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 0, n)  # see

Hi! Cool picture! In this context, the word "software" probably does not bring much information. What about replacing the bottom line by, say ``Mathematics in Python''? Sure, that's not quite correct, and we could use help with people having experience in C/Javascript/... but that could
