[sage-support] question to David Joyner about the rubik's cube

2009-02-25 Thread Pierre
hi there, sorry if this is not really sage-related (it is in a way). So David, i'm currently reading your book "adventures in group theory", and i'm thoroughly enjoying it. I'm sure it will also be of great help when i finally teach sage in my university (the switch from maple is about to happen

To implement M_R in Sage would be non-trivial, since it is a pair of moves followed by a solid cube rotation. The rotation changes *all* the moves which follow it. So to implement X*M_R*Y (reading left-to-right) in Sage you'd have to change Y. I've done it in a few cases to check moves but it is

I'm doing a long computation in Sage and I'd like to be able to print some status information to the screen, such as the number of database entries that I have tested, or the total time spent on different parts of an algorithm. If I use the print command, then such information will accumulate and

Yes--you can install any Python package that interacts with MySQL right in Sage's Python environment. Just type "sage -sh" first and then install it (via setup.py or easy_install) just as you would in any other Python environment. Then you can import it and use it from all your scripts. -

Hi Dave: Once you have your zero-dimensional ideal K within a Sage ring, you could try the variety() command K.variety(ring=QQbar) or K.variety(ring=CC) to get its solutions as algebraic numbers or complex floating point numbers, respectively. See 'variety()' under http://www.sagemath.org/doc

Hum... I talked to my colleague again today and convinced him to give SAGE a try and to produce the animation using ffmpeg. Now the question is: in sage is it possible to save the sequences of images as a batch process (verses saving them one-by-one by hand)? Also he wonders if it possible to s
