Sage in WeBWorK

Sage is an open source, online symbolic mathematical system. Details on Sage can be found at http://www.sagemath.org .

For use within WebWork, a special "single-cell" version of Sage is located at

To pass perl variables to the sage block if you need to from the problem initialization use:

TEXT(<<EOF);

where <<EOF allows interpolation

otherwise use:

TEXT(<<'EOF');

where 'EOF' tells perl not to interpolate variables
