Hi,
Going with the topic of this thread, a new Sage user just sent me an
email explaining that an example from Ch 8 of Craig Finch's book

var('x')
f = lambda x: 3 * x^3 - 7 * x^2 + 2
minval, x_min = find_minimum_on_interval(f, 0, 3)
print("Min on interval [0,3]

I have given this a lot of thought the past few years (perhaps this is
obvious). I prepared extensive material about Sage for Tom Judson's
Abstract Algebra book and have an automated procedure to produce doctests
of the code examples. While I use sagetex for some aspects of this, the

I had refereed, which changed an error message in finite fields and
thus broke the doctests in sage/tests/french_book/. The original fix
was just to change t
