I'm a little confused - I upgrade my sage version often in the middle of semesters. Since the notebook lives in a seperate directory it shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps my confusion is related to the VMWare server, because I don't use that. I thought you could upgrade those though. -M. Hampton

Be careful with bool. It will return False for equations that may be true. Simple example: sage: bool(x == 0) False I believe in some cases it will return False for equations that are actually True if sage doesn't know how to make the necessary simplifications. But if it returns True, you can

We are running a VMWare server for fall classes. However, we have run into the disturbing problem that if we want to use a newer version of Sage (such as to get the plotting improvements), we would need to (quoting William in the earlier version of this thread) "upload them tediously one by one."

Putting == between two symbol expressions creates a symbolic equation, not a test for equality. There is there fore a difference between these: sage: 3 == 3 True sage: x == x x == x This behaviour of == is (I think) unique to the symbolic ring in Sage. You can test for equality like this: sag
