2016-01-06 14:50:53 +0200 asked a question Calculate cosine in degrees

I'd like to calculate the value of the cosine of 52 degrees. The following fails:

lam = 52 * sage.units.degree
cos(lam)

How should I do it correctly?

2015-12-23 20:20:47 +0200 commented answer Automatic typesetting in Jupyter

I have this line in /usr/lib/sagemath/local/etc/jupyter_notebook_config.py but I still need to use %display typeset

2015-12-23 20:19:24 +0200 commented answer Jupyter doesn't use the built-in MathJax

Ok, I noticed a weird thing. I have my .ipynb notebook in a directory ~/proj/sage. If I launch sage from within this directory, MathJax is detected properly. But if I launch sage from my home directory and then navigate to the notebook file and select it, Jupyter can't find MathJax. Any ideas?

2015-12-20 13:26:04 +0200 asked a question Change the default number of points in plotting

By default the plot function has only 200 points:

 sage.plot.plot.plot(funcs, exclude=None, fillalpha=0.5, fillcolor='automatic', detect_poles=False, plot_points=200, thickness=1, adaptive_tolerance=0.01, rgbcolor=(0, 0, 1), adaptive_recursion=5, aspect_ratio='automatic', alpha=1, legend_label=None, fill=False, *args, **kwds)

But this look awful when plotting for example $f(x) = \frac{\sin x }{x}$. Since my machine is quite fast, I'd like to set the default to 50000 points.

Is this possible?

2015-12-20 13:18:13 +0200 asked a question Automatic typesetting in Jupyter

When using the Jupyter notebook I always have to type

%display typeset

as my first line so as to enable typesetting.

Is there any way to avoid it and have the answers typeset automatically?

I'm using sagemath-upstream-binary from the PPA and Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon.

2015-12-20 13:15:46 +0200 commented answer Jupyter doesn't use the built-in MathJax

Before your answer I was playing around a while, so I reinstalled Sage once again (the fourth time) magically, Jupyter works now...

2015-12-13 09:18:10 +0200 asked a question Jupyter doesn't use the built-in MathJax

I have two copies of MathJax. One in /usr/lib/sagemath/local/share/mathjax, another in /usr/share/javascript/mathjax.

I open up the jupyter notebook: sage -n jupyter. I open a notebook and what I get is

Math/LaTeX rendering will be disabled.

If you have administrative access to the notebook server and a working internet connection, you can install a local copy of MathJax for offline use with the following command on the server at a Python or Jupyter prompt:

from Jupyter.external import mathjax; mathjax.install_mathjax()

But I don't want a third (sic!) copy of MathJax on my computer! How can I make Jupyter use the existing ones?

I'm using Linux Mint 17.2, used the sagemath-upstream-binary package from the PPA.

2015-12-13 09:08:10 +0200 answered a question MathJax stopped working

I found the root of the problem.

While browsing the net I switched the MathJax renderer to SVG. But only my global MathJax installation has the SVG renderer, the shipped version lacks it.

After changing the renderer to HTML/CSS, the problem disappeared.

I'll file a bug in trac. And for the Jupyter problem, I'll open a new question

2015-12-12 19:38:08 +0200 commented answer MathJax stopped working

No success here. Sage 6.9 was my first install

It initially worked with the Sage notebook. Suddenly the notebook ceased to work. I tried the Jupyter notebook afterwards. When I open the jupyter notebook, nothing is printed at all. Even if I remove the %display typeset line

2015-12-08 09:09:09 +0200 asked a question MathJax stopped working

I created a couple of commands and realized they produce no output. If typesetting is turned to false, then the output is produced. When I go to the print tab, I get the following error:

File failed to load: localhost:8080/javascript/mathjax/jax/output/SVG/config.js

Why did it suddenly stop working?

I'm using Linux Mint 17.2, used the sagemath-upstream-binary package from the PPA. I'm using the Sage notebook. My commands are

x = var('x')
w = x^4 - (1+3*i)*x^3 - (2-4*i)*x^2 + (6-2*i)*x - 4 - 4*i
p = x^4 + (1-3*i)*x^3 - (4+3*i)*x^2 - (4-2*i)*x + 2*i
solve(w,x)

I tried using Jupyter but I get the following error while creating a notebook in Jupyter:

 Failed to retrieve MathJax from '../nbextensions/mathjax/MathJax.js'

although I have MathJax installed locally in /usr/share/javascript/mathjax and in /usr/lib/sagemath/local/share/mathjax

2015-12-07 20:01:12 +0200 asked a question `roots` doesn't find all roots of a polynomial

Let's consider the following example:

w = x^4 - (1+3*i)*x^3 - (2-4*i)*x^2 + (6-2*i)*x - 4 - 4*i
p = x^4 + (1-3*i)*x^3 - (4-3*i)*x^2 - (4-2*i)*x + 2*i
solve(w, x)
w.roots()

When using solve, all complex roots are found. When using roots, only two of them. Why?
