Igor's sliders for 2d plots look good. Some other random notebook ideas I had (that i don't expect to be implemented anytime soon, but i think are worth writing down somewhere): Is it possible to put all output (and input?) cells in some css (html/ whatever, i dont know anything about web

I like 3. It probably makes the most sense because its the behavior is simplest to define/remember, and (in)equality is by far the most important anyway. On Jul 16, 2:44 am, Carl Witty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jul 13, 1:57 pm, saucerful [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I see.  Yes I agree

[sage-devel] Bug in ComplexIntervalField

2008-07-13 Thread saucerful
Some weird behavior in ComplexIntervalField: CIF(0) != CIF(-1, 1); This should be false (as the value 0 is contained in both intervals), but it returns true (using whatever version is on sagenb.org). A little deeper: print CIF(0); 0 print CIF(1); [1. ..

I was interested in seeing the performance differences between MATLAB and some open source offerings so I googled and came across this: http://www.sciviews.org/benchmark/index.html It seems like MATLAB did not have a huge edge in performance over R when the test was done, but that Octave was far

This is called flamebait, and I am guessing thats why no one has responded yet. But its been in the back of my mind since I first read it yesterday, and here is what I have to say... I just kind of started following SAGE but the most obvious response to this sort of criticism is to point out

Along the same lines, another nice thing would be keyboard shortcuts. The most important being Interrupt and Evaluate all. Of course, we don't want to turn the web browser into an IDE but I think this is within reason. Perhaps these even exist, as shift+enter evaluates the current cell (this

[sage-devel] Another bug in QuaternionAlgebra over RealIntervalField

2008-07-09 Thread saucerful
R = RealIntervalField(53); A.i,j,k = QuaternionAlgebra(R, -1,-1); a = R(0.85323069669636530)*j + R(-1.2524486580700891)*k; b = R(0.37151417469522368) + R(0.54534187688354340)*i a/b; This computation gives a ValueError: Generator 0 not defined. Note that if I instead define R as a RealField

Is it possible to put links in the trackback messages that refer to lines in the current noteook (as opposed to stuff in the sage or python libraries) so that you can jump to that line? I have found that the code that it spits out is usually very ambiguous (and there are no line numbers, another

[sage-devel] QuaternionAlgebra over RealIntervalField bug

2008-07-07 Thread saucerful
Hello, I have boiled it down to: R = RealIntervalField(32); A.i,j,k=QuaternionAlgebra(R,-1,-1) print A(1)/(j + 2); Executing this code results in an error whose traceback is pasted at the end of this message. Note that by hand (or by using RealField instead of RealIntervalField) this
