Dear Oscar, These can simply be uploaded to a Sage account. Assuming you have created one on sagenb.org or on your local machine, log in to your account and click on "Upload" near the upper left corner. Uploading a .sws file should work okay then. I agree it is not intuitive. - kc

Very interesting. I would point out that it is a shame that there is nothing on Integral Domains, quite possibly because Sage has not that much useful to say about them per se (or UFDs or Euc. Domains...)? - kcrisman On Apr 15, 1:16 pm, Rob Beezer wrote: > I've about finished up a ser
