[sage-support] Simple continued fractions in Pari

2008-04-24 Thread bill.p
I needed to derive some continued fractions and a quick search of the index suggests that the Pari-GP function 'contfrac' might be what I needed. A simple test in the notebook: gp('contfrac(sqrt(6))') produced [2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4,

I've worked around my previous problem by splitting the curve and reflecting about the line X=Y. However, I am now adding straight lines through various points, using parametric_plot with a predefined function to compute the y coordinate from the two given points and a given value for X. When I ru

I find the warning messages that appear at the top of the notebook saying that JsMath isn't available annoying. There's an awful lot of disk space full of the JsMath stuff so it's definitely there. I find it especially annoying when I try to print something - I get a big red box at the top of my o

[sage-support] printing long lines from notebook

I have some longish expressions in my notebook. When I try to print them out they get truncated. Is there a convention for splitting lines so that they will be treated as a single logical line so that I can make them fit into the paper width? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~

[sage-support] Trying to plot symbolic algebra

2008-01-23 Thread bill.p
I'm probably trying to do something stupid here, but I'm interested in the expression sin(a)+sin(b)+sin(c) where a,b,c are the angles of a triangle, i.e. c=pi-a-b. This of course can be simplified to sin(a)+sin(b)+sin(a+b). I thought it might be interesting to plot this and so I entered: var('a')

OK, thanks. I found adding text beginning with '#' seemed to be OK within the cells, provided it preceded the sage expressions, though putting '?' in a comment produced an error - presumably this is generated by the pre-processing in sage. I've moved my comments outside the cells. --~--~

Thanks for the help so far. I've been able to make some minor changes to the code and checked the behaviour. I'm still a bit stuck on how it all ties together. I have added a new routine to the C++ code, but so far I've been unable to trace how the existing code is invoked from the Python code. I'
