When are we going to have a Sage Differential Geometry Days? The new manifolds package is a great start, it would be nice to get a good group together to build that into a robust differential geometry package. John Hoebing On Thursday, January 23, 2014 1:54:09 PM UTC-8, William wrote: > > On T

[sage-devel] Improving differential equation solvers

2012-04-03 Thread john.hoebing
Its probably a good time to see what we can do to improve the way sage handles ordinary differential equations. I would vote against making improvements directly to maxima, and instead think about how we can implement our own de solvers, perhaps using sympy, or using regular expression matching to

After a day spent trying to implement a workaround for a special case of this issue: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6480 I thought it would be a good time to review the status of some of the earlier issues with how we represent ordinary (partial) derivatives. Most relevant is this old

I've reviewed those two tickets and I see some discussion about the combo of Lion/Xcode4 but I don't see a pointer to either a tar ball or patches to get an alpha 4.8 sage that will (start to) build on OS 10.7.x. My build system is a new mac mini with Lion/Xcode4 installed by default, and I'm not

The solution is to replace ./spkg/standard/readline-6.1* with readline-6.2.p2.spkg and then go to the sage home directory and run 'make distclean' and then run 'make'. The 'libreadline*' files that are already built (and used by other packages) have to be replaced with the new 6.2 spkg, so you h
