Thanks, Chris. Here's the code that generates k0: k=PolynomialRing(RationalField(),'k').gen() m3,m2,m1,m0=var('m3,m2,m1,m0') alpha,newbeta,delta,phi,psi,gamma=var('alpha,newbeta,delta,phi,psi,gamma') a,b,d=var('a,b,d') tl,tr,beta=var('tl,tr,beta') assume(tl>0,tr>.5,tl<.5,tr<1,beta>0,beta<1) f=(m3

Hello. I believe the issue is that earlier in the tutorial I had set sage: RealNumber=float but I didn't specify to reenter this in the section you were looking at. If you enter this before the example it will work fine. The issue is that as William indicated, if you do not do this, instead of
