Thank you for pointing this out. Honestly, that wasn't really my main point. I just wanted to point out that SAGE has the capabilities to become a powerful tool to be actually used by engineers during their job, rather than being a very beautiful toy.
So, in my opinion I would prefer to get those improvements I was talking about in the previous posts Regards Maurizio On 29 Mar, 15:38, Jaap Spies <j.sp...@hccnet.nl> wrote: > Jason Grout wrote: > > Maurizio wrote: > >> Let me throw this stone, it's just something that pops into my mind > >> now: do you know what simulink is?
