[sage-devel] tutorial()

Hi notebook() launches in firefox (my preferred browser on ubuntu 12.04). tutorial() launches in chromium, why is that? Trying to do a from-source install so that I can look at the code. Regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ -- You received this messa

[sage-devel] tutorial: using @interact in the Sage library (or any Python library code).

Hi, I was playing around with using @interact in the Sage library and it almost works... and with one small hack it seems to work fine. You just have to know how to use it. As an example, put the following (see below) in a file such as SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/a.py, then do "sage -br" and fina

[sage-devel] tutorial on Python functional programming for mathematicians

Hi folks, I have written a draft of a tutorial on functional programming for mathematicians. The tutorial is available on the Sage wiki [1], but you could also find it at Wordpress [2]. This is a redundancy measure in case the wiki is down. I invite you to comments on it or expand it as necessary.

[sage-devel] tutorial: en vs. fr versions

I just noticed that there are some differences between the English and French tutorials: first, they're written in totally different languages. No, sorry, just kidding. Actually, some paragraphs have been added to the English version without corresponding changes to the French version, like the

[sage-devel] Tutorial topics for SciPy'09 Conference

Hi all, The time for the Scipy'09 conference is rapidly approaching, and we would like to both announce the plan for tutorials and solicit feedback from everyone on topics of interest. Broadly speaking, the plan is something along the lines of what we had last year: one continuous 2-day tutoria

[sage-devel] tutorial: add something about functions vs. expressions, etc.?

It seems like specifying a function for plotting or differentiation is a common point of confusion. For example, see these threads (and I know there have been others):

What should be included in the tutorial that's not already there? In another thread Marshall Hampton made these suggestions: > 1) In calculus/differential equat

[sage-devel] tutorial: math questions about dirichlet characters

I'm working on rewriting the tutorial. Section 2.5.1 of the tutorial is about Dirichlet characters, and I have some questions: The introductory sentence discusses "Dirichlet characters", and then the first example uses "DirichletGroup". What is the connection? (I'm thinking that for fixed n and

[sage-devel] Tutorial to translate in french

hi all, as I said last week, I am willing to give a little help for the usage of SAGE in french educational system. One thing that showed to be important was the availability of a tutorial in french. I would appreciate some experts on that list (;-) to point me to an existing tutorial in English
