I just checked out PiScript, and I think it would be a powerful backend for this kind of, and many other, functionality. I created an example picture with PiScript that one can find at http://folk.uio.no/georgmu/Superformula.eps and http://folk.uio.no/georgmu/Superformula.py . Of course as Marsha

I haven't tried it before, but I sneaked a peek and tried to extract the most important information from the website. * The program seems to take a discretized vector field as input, and creates images from these. * Its functionality seems to be - to plot pretty arrows that have a width, size a

2007-11-16 Thread Georg Muntingh
I think you want the multivariate Laurent series to form a field. For x + y to have an inverse, you should additionally make a choice of an ordering x < y or y < x to decide what its series expansion looks like. The best definition might therefore be the iterated Laurent series, as described in Ch

Maybe I am too late with this, but I have just a couple of comments. I like the clean slide layout with no unnecessary information like "name of the speaker" and "day of the talk" etc., it provides for a very high signal to noise ratio. The slides feel balanced. On the other hand, there is too mu

Yes, that is on purpose. I use them when I change subject or when I want the audience to look at me, instead of at the screen. It is quite a smart trick. The following article neatly describes the effect of a black screen: http://www.bertdecker.com/experience/2007/03/blog_entry_date.html I agree

Indeed, that's great! What about adding an exclamation mark to the end of the function you want to edit, so writing for instance "factor!" to edit the source code of the function "factor"? Or is too easily confused with the factorial? Georg. On Oct 4, 6:44 am, "William Stein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I really like it. It looks a lot cleaner than the current interface, because there are not so many buttons distracting you from the content of the notebook. This is an advantage that increases with the number of features. A very nice example of this is the table of contents of the documentation t

I think your design is definitely a big improvement, but there are some things that I don't really like as they are now, and imho make it a little messy. The wall paper, for instance. Second, the "Try SAGE Online" box is stuck to the side of the screen. It would be better if there would be some sp

[sage-devel] Documentation format

I noticed that the documentation format doesn't contain a 'see also-section'. When using a CAS I always think such sections to be very useful, because it often provides a convenient method for finding the function I'm looking for. Maybe there is a good reason that they are not there, but at the m
