Some SMC Questions

[Thomas Judson]

(1) Is it possible to call subroutines in a Sage worksheet that were written in a different worksheet?

(2) When I am creating a course in SMC, what is the best way to add a batch of students. If I only have 15 students in course, it is pretty easy to add them one-by-one, but if I am adding 200 calculus students to a course, I would like to find an efficient way of doing this.

(3) What is the best way to move file, folders, and courses from one project to another?

Thanks.
Tom

No, the best way to accomplish this, is to write them into a separate
.py python file.

You can add a comma separated list of email addresses.

Select it in the files view and copy them to another project.
Afterwards, delete them. I'm not sure about moving courses, though.
Maybe the best way is to add new collaborators to the project and
maybe remove some others? It would be interesting to know what you are
actually trying to accomplish by this.

For (1) I use both Harald and William ways : .sage is for pre-processed files and .py is for common Python file.

I use pre-processed .sage files since long time and because of an old coding choice...I don't remember exactly in which SMC web page pre-processing is explained, maybe in the FAQ (http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/faq/faq-usage.html) ..I am just a litlle lazy now to search.

In one worsheet first cells :

#%hide

import sys

sys.path.append('./modules')

import DrawingConstants as dc

%load ./modules/RationalTrigonometry.sage

And in the directory "modules" in the project, I have files :

DrawingConstants.py  (python file):

print "DrawingConstants module loading ..."
# Constants
nd = 5
# Colors
c0 = "white"
c1 = "black"
c2 = "red"
c3 = "green"
c4 = "brown"
c5 = "orange"
c6 = "pink"
c7 = "blue"
c8 = "yellow"
# Line styles
ls = ":"
# Thickness of lines
th1 = 0.4
th2 = 0.8
th3 = 0.2
th4 = 0.6
# Font sizes
fs1 = 10
fs2 = 12
fs3 = 14
fs4 = 16
fs5 = 18
print "...DrawingConstants module loaded"

and in file RationalTrigonometry.sage :

print "RationalTrigonometry (RT) module loading ..."

 

# Given two points p1,p1 returns quadrance Q(P1,P2)
def RT_Quadrance(p1,p2):
    [x1,y1] = p1; [x2,y2] = p2
    q = (x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2
    return q
