My bad; I was thinking this because of Mathematica. I should have said sequence and round brackets. Do you think the distinction between lists and tuples is of any consequence in terms of output? After all, their only difference is immutability. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-de

Hello, I was wondering about people's opinions on typesetting lists in LaTeX with curly braces ({ }) instead of square brackets ([ ]) as is done in Python. This would be more mathematically correct, as sets are typically denoted like this in mathematics. I can't see it causing much confusion, sinc

Thank you. The numbers seem pretty standard. The biggest three universities are the University of Toronto, British Columbia, and Montreal. I don't think any Canadian university is using Sage significantly yet. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe
