I am no expert in sage, I started just 2 weeks ago. What I understood is that there are some functionalities, e.g. in the area of numerical solution of ODE systems, where octave has its advantages. There is the interface from withhin sage, but the code itself wassn't included in the package. The m

You might already be aware of this, but sometimes people miss the wiki's interact page: http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact Some of these are very nice for illustrating things during a lecture, and then if you want you can explain some of how the code works. I don't think we have a lot of things fo

2010-02-03 Thread calcpage
I just saw on Planet SAGE an example using the @parallel decorator. This sounds very interesting, but is it only for SMP, ie multi core, or can it be extended to work over a cluster? It looks to me that using openMPI and mpi4Py is very complex. How "easy" is it to use parallel python over a

Your puppy linux SAGE CD sounds very interesting. Yes, I found out that the SAGE CD is based on UBUNTU 9.04 (as stated during boot up) and is a 32 bit version (as it works on my old 32 bit linux box). Anyone know if there's a 64 bit version of the SAGE liveCD in the works? Thanx, A. Jorge Ga

Oh, that's interesting! Is it easy to make a bootable ISO in puppy linux? Also, you say you have SAGE and octave? isn't that redundant? Don't get me wrong, I have used octave for years and love it but I was under the impression that scyPy is included with SAGE and is very similar to octave,
