[sage-support] integrate() problem

2011-07-11 Thread robin hankin
Hi. What's going on here? y=(x^2)*exp(x)/(1+exp(x))^2 integrate(y,(x,-infinity,infinity)) 0 Sage gives me zero here. But 'y' is strictly positive everywhere, and I happen to know that the analytic answer is pi^2/3. What's going on here? -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst hankin.ro.

[sage-support] Generating extension fields

2011-07-11 Thread VictorMiller
Suppose that I have field (it's actually a finite field, but it would be nice to know if this works in more generality) F, and an extension field K. If a[0], ..., a[k] are elements of K, I'd like to generate the field F obtained by adjoining these elements to F as a sage object. Is there a method

[sage-support] Maybe not a sage problem?

2011-07-11 Thread Jotace
Hi all, I'm using sage 4.7 on ubuntu 11.04, and I am having problems with 3dplots, but this happens only with the notebook interface. 2D plots are o.k. in both modes, and 3d plots from the terminal work fine, so jmol is there. Whe trying to do a 3d plot, a black square appears in my browser. In

[sage-support] simple integration with absolute value

2011-07-11 Thread Pedro Cruz
Good morning, the command integrate( abs(x^2-1), x, -2,2) does not do the job automatically. I have seen on this discussion group another, at least, similar message. Is there an organized list of functions that are yet implemented for integration? How can one cooperate without being a sage p
