Re: [sage-support] Re: Sage versus Excel (spreadsheets in general): Are my arguments correct and complete?

Thank-you. Perhaps we could add that somewhere, e.g. http://modular.math.washington.edu/edu/2012/1062/projects/final/le-kofmehl/Math480_Quick_Reference_Statistics_Final.pdf I tried everything on this page, everything on the forum, absolutely everything I could find doing a search on: sage plot hi

Very badly written since I am in a hurry - IMHO: After struggling for the last 2 weeks, I would say Excel and GeoGebra have more functions for the statistics math classroom (e.g. RandomBetween, CountIf). They are much more intuitive and better documented. And it seems to me that Sage without num

P.S. the animation iterates 5 times and stops (you can see the code * iterations=5*) so if the point stops moving before you get all there, just change the number or reload. :) > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group. To post to thi

Hi - I am like the a total amateur with sage, but here is a page that I did with animation - credit: Nils Brun http://sage.math.canterbury.ac.nz/home/lfahlberg/58/ I see it is still working. It has 5-6 plots so with the current java problems, be prepared to click on Run a gazillion times. The a

Re: [sage-support] Leading order of a polynomial

min(p.exponents()) gives it. I have not head of the expression "leading order", and maybe the people who implemented polynomials in Sage had not either! John Cremona On 19 January 2013 16:34, marco nijmeijer wrote: > Suppose I have a polynomial p like > > R.=PolynomialRing(SR) > p= x^3+x^4+x^5

[sage-support] Leading order of a polynomial

Suppose I have a polynomial p like R.=PolynomialRing(SR) p= x^3+x^4+x^5 Its leading order is 3 and its degree is 5. I know how to get the degree: p.degree() and I assume there is something equally simple to get the leading order. I can't find it though. Thank you for any assistence. -- You re

I'm having some troubles figuring out matplotlib from within Sage. I'm interested in doing some animations, so I started with the first exampleon matplotlib.org. I downloaded the source code
