Thanks. Hopefully some of the math will start coming back as I go through this. I'm glad I didn't spend an hour looking for the 'conversion'. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group,

Sorry but I've spent over an hour on google and not found this. I've had calculus but haven't used it in years. I decided to do some brushing up and learn sage at the same time. I have the number -0.6167. If I want degree representation on my old HP48 I use acos and get 128(degrees) In sage

Hi all, I would like to inform you about new packages - FuncDesigner and DerApproximator. They have been extracted from OpenOpt into standalone Python modules. FuncDesigner is a convenient tool for building functions and getting their derivatives via Automatic differentiation (http://openopt.org/

Perhaps you could convert this into a system of linear equations then use the solve command? On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 2:39 PM, Santanu Sarkar wrote: > Hi, >  How  can  I find the solution x1,...,z3 in SAGE   where > A= [x1,x2,x3, >   y1,y2,y3, >    z1,z2,z3]  is a (3,3) matrix which satisf

Hi, How can I find the solution x1,...,z3 in SAGE where A= [x1,x2,x3, y1,y2,y3, z1,z2,z3] is a (3,3) matrix which satisfy AB=C where B=[1,2 3,4, 5,6] a (3,2) matrix and C=[0,0, 1,0, 0,2] another (3,2) matrix ? --~--~-~--~-

Hi, this should have happened to other people, but I can't find some other post on this one. I'm not sure which update exactly caused the bug, since I didn't use weave since Sage 3.something. All I can say is, that weave doesn't work at all in Sage 4.1 and 4.11 (64 bit) under Mac OS X 10.5.8 on m

Hi: I am trying to "define" a variable to be an element of GF(2). In particular, suppose that I create GF(2^4) the following way: K=GF(2) S. = K['x'] QR=S.quotient(1+x+x^4,'a') a=FR.gen() Now I am trying to compute the following: (gamma0 + gamma1*a + gamma2*a^2 + gamma3*a^3)*(beta0 + beta1*a +
