William, I'm able to convert my open-source linear algebra textbook from LaTeX to jsMath in an automated way, and you have seen my experiments in converting snippets of the jsMath versions into SAGE worksheets. When I attempt to convert the entire book this way, I'd expect each of the 40 or so s

[sage-support] Generating all subgroups of a group

2008-09-24 Thread Rob Beezer
A homework exercise for my students asks them to find all subgroups of S_4, which should be a very instructive exercise, even if a bit unreasonable. In SAGE, the conjugacy_classes_subgroups() method gets you started, and the quick-and-dirty brute-force code below creates all possible subgroups

[sage-support] Iterating over PermutationGroup elements

2008-09-12 Thread Rob Beezer
I'm trying to compute the "product" of a couple of subgroups (the aim being to build a set that is not a subgroup). My students know the symmetries of a tetrahedron. Following code results in errors. I can change the final line to variations that are not useful (like just printing g and h i
