I'm probably trying to do something stupid here, but I'm interested
in the expression sin(a)+sin(b)+sin(c) where a,b,c are the angles of
a triangle, i.e. c=pi-a-b. This of course can be simplified to
sin(a)+sin(b)+sin(a+b).
I thought it might be interesting to plot this and so I entered:
var('a');var('b')
f=sin(a)+sin(b)+sin(a+b)
f.plot()
Sage chewed on this for a short while then came back with:

I'm a bit puzzled as to this - I assume that in order to make a plot
it has to
put some real values into a and b, but in that case I'd expect it to
work.
I'd earlier tried .plot3d() but it gave a reasonable excuse for not
doing that.
