Most formulas appear, but displayed math formulas don't in some cases like the one you list above. Somebody needs to implement this. It's probably not trivial, but can be done. > Could there be some definition in SAGE of what say a pair-wise > function is so a user could bring up a random pairwise function and > see the LaTex notation, SAGE notation, and various examples?

So basically you mean what Eric W's math world would be like if instead of having links to mathematica notebooks for each page, there were a live mathematica-like web page with the examples there, which one can interact with? That would be really cool. > > On 1/29/07, William Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Sun, 28 Jan 2007 23:58:33 -0800, Iftikhar Burhanuddin <[EMAIL > > PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Sat, 27 Jan 2007, William Stein wrote: > > >> It would be helpful if somebody would try out the doc browser by > > >> going to http://sage.math.washington.edu:8100/ and clicking > > >> on Documentation (in the upper right), and tell me what you think. > > >> I'm aware that if you bring up a *huge* page that your browser > > >> will likely be very unhappy, but there are very few such pages > > >> now. > > > ... > > >> But overall, do you think this is useful and a good addition > > >> to SAGE? > > > > > > This takes the coolness factor of the notebook up to eleven!!!!!!!!!!! > > > > And earlier this evening Nils Bruin emailed a bunch of good ideas > > for improving it much more. > > > > > We should think about doc (re-)writing keeping the doc browser in mind. > > > > E.g., Nils suggested cross referencing.
