When I try to make a dense matrix, I get a "MemoryError: out of memory
allocating a matrix."  I was able to output my matrix into a .txt file
and tweak it to be read into Matlab.  Matlab was able to compute it
pretty quickly, so I feel like it is doable in Sage as well.  Maybe I
have a problem with my code?  I'm unsure how to fix this problem.
