[sage-support] Problem of using sagetex with a MikTeX system

2008-08-19 Thread pong
I try to use sagetex in a MikTeX system (i.e. running VMware image of sage and MikTeX on a window machine) I download the example.tex from the sagetex distribution and run latex on it. I understand I need to then run SAGE on example.sage. So I uploaded example.sage into the VMware file system and

2008-08-19 Thread Mike Witt
Hi, I'm a long time Mathematica user who just discovered Sage a couple of months ago, and I'm starting to warm up to it. I have a question about parametric_plot. It appears that if you've got a function that evaluates to zero, then parametric_plot won't accept it. For example, if z(a,b)=e^(I*b +
