Well, that was easy! So are these SAGE objects that you have to construct? Its not clear where this code comes from. Is it a python object, is it from maxima, gap, what? Still, these constructs do not preserve the matrix paradigm from MATLAB. For example, in MATLAB you can pass a matrix as

You can use sage: v = vector([1,2,3]) sage: w = vector([1,1,-4]) sage: w.dot_product(v) -9 sage: w.norm() 3*sqrt(2) etc. Just see http://www.sagemath.org/doc/tutorial/tour_linalg.html for more examples. On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 7:41 PM, wrote: > OK, I use SAGE in my teaching a lot now.  Its gr
