Thank you! It was probably because I pasted it from an outside source (probably the .pdf the instructions the professor gave us were in).

I've been using sagemath throughout the semester with few problems, but I just can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my syntax here.

x = var('x')

p(x) = x^3 – 3*x^2 + (x - 1)
Dp(x) = derivative(p(x), x)

plot(p(x), -1, 1)

I'm getting this error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So appears that the function is in error...
