[sage-edu] Fourier Analysis Book

2010-03-24 Thread Dana Ernst
Does anyone have any recommendations for an undergraduate Fourier analysis book? In particular, does anyone know of any open-source or affordable books that could naturally incorporate Sage? I'm asking for a colleague of mine. (The prerequisite for the course is Calculus II, but most of the s

OK, I use SAGE in my teaching a lot now. Its great for algebra, trig, precalc, plots in 2D and 3D, limits, derivatives and integrals both analytic and numerical. There's only one thing holding me back from using SAGE exclusively. I come from the MATLAB/Octave world and miss the matrix paradi

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

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

Jorge, vector and matrix objects as described here are Sage constructions. Behind the scenes different packages might do the computations (such as numpy). I don't know MATLAB, but here's a way to square every entry of a matrix ("process the data"). Might be an easier way that I don't know. sage
