Alex Thanks for your help. I had searched the group and found the thread about nth roots, but I wasn't putting it together with the plot statement correctly. Thanks also to Jason for publishing an illustration -- good idea. The published worksheets are a great resource for learning Sage and wo

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andy, I had the exact same question a few days ago. There are many issues involved here, but the short answer to your question (provided by Carl Witty) is: you can plot x^(1/3) with show(plot(lambda x : RR(x).nth_root(3), -10, 10), figsize=[5,5
