I have a question about hyperlinks between worksheets. I am trying to convert my open-source linear algebra textbook (http:// linear.ups.edu/) into a group of Sage worksheets. Right now, I convert the LaTeX for each of the 50 or so sections into its own page of XHTML that is acceptable to jsMath

Just one comment, about your use of BinaryQF_reduced_representatives() . There are patches undergoing review now relevant to this (at #4120). That function was made a lot more efficient in #3857 (now merged) but that function returns a list of the representative forms, while you only need the nu

Hi there! I attended the SAGE DAYS 10 in Nancy (Thanks the people there for everything!). As other colleague and me are interested in crypto interesting Elliptic Curves, we noticed that the SAGE function that calculates the Hilbert class polynomial needs magma, so we proposed at the Coding Sprint
