Yes, it definitely does. What Ronan said isn't right. Also, I don't understand Ronan's remarks about us having to change our plotting so that matplotlib stuff works -- aside from issues with the preparser (which is orthogonal to the current discussion), every matplotlib example should already work 100% the same in Sage if you import pylab. > Could someone with access to a copy of Mathematica let me know what it > does when the view window does not contain the origin? Mathematica's plotting "look" is very similar to Sage's, since Sage's plotting was specifically designed to look like Mathematica's with all the same defaults. You can window back mathematica from sage.math, by the way, and try it out that way. Also, I believe we have a site license for Mathematica (and Maple) at UW, so you're legally allowed to get a free copy for your laptop if you want.
