2008-05-16 Thread kcrisman
I'm working on # 3212 and am running into trouble with self, I think. I've kept everything identical except trying to catch exception of uncoercible scalar row multiplication. If I put a line 'print type(self)' after the self.change_ring, it *does* show the ring has changed internally, but by the

+1 to this. Sage Enhancement Proposal: Change comparisons that involve elements of the symbolic ring to return True or False if both sides of the symbolic comparison are constants and the comparison can be definitely determined. [...] There would be a discussion on sage-devel, probably some voti

In every CAS I've used, the tendency to reduce true symbolic equations to boolean True drives me nuts. What if the user wants to start from a known true equation and then manipulate both sides to obtain an identity of some sort? Automatic reduction to a boolean value disallows this use case. I v

[sage-support] Plotting x^x

2008-05-16 Thread Dan Pillone
Hi, I am running SAGE as a VM on a windows computer. This is somewhat related to plotting the cube root of x, but I can't find any method to plot the graph of x^x correctly. The best plot I get is only correct for nonnegative values of x. Likewise, plot(lambda x: RR(x).nth_root(x)) (which was
