I am getting the same problem on OSX 10.5 Intel - when I tried to do Josh's Lorenz attractor example, all I got was a black square. This was from command line, and from the notebook. On Jan 30, 7:12 am, Marshall Hampton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've had trouble getting the 3d plotting

This is ultimately a question for the NetworkX people, since these functions are just wrapping theirs. I tried sage: for x in range(100): show(graphs.DegreeSequence([3,3,3,3,3,3], seed=randint(1,10))) and I got a hundred planar graphs, and no K_{3,3}. > First, just something I'm not fam

You could try substituting x+1 for x first, then do what you want, and substitute back at the end, I would expect the auto-simplification to happen at that last step too, but you would be able to (say) replace x by (x-1) in the textual output. I wonder if it is possible to have a variable whose n

A variation of this, which would be useful in some elliptic curve calculations, would be a function RR(x).nearby_rational_whose_denominator_is_a_perfect_square(). For either problem, is there a better solution than going through the continued fraction convergents until one is found which has the

Hi, there is a method RR(x).nearby_rational(...) which returns a rational number it would be convenient for me to have a method which returns a rational number which has also a rational square root, something like RR(x).nearby_rational_perfect_square(...) , I'm not asking for a workaround, at
