Hi Marshall I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, in a laptop Dell inspiron 1420. I installed from source. I have 3.1.1. and 3.2.3. I was checking, maxima does not work at all. I can't do a simple example like: sage: x = var('x') sage: solve(x^2 + 3*x + 2, x) ---Alex On Mar 5, 9:38 pm, Marshall Hampton wro

I need to find the roots of this polynomial, where are coefficients are in this matrix: coef=matrix([[1],[-1],[-1],[0]]) thanks in advance, and apologies if this is posted somewhere else, I have not been able to find it. (NOTE: looking for the MathCAD equivalent of "polyroots") --~--~---
