cookbook documentation chapter: coding theory

[wdj]

I've put a draft for the coding theory chapter for the cookbook.tex document in  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/cookbook/ To possibly make it easier, I've created this tarball of the directory:  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/cookbook2008-07-09.tar.gz

This is unrelated to coercion and should not be assigned against the coercion milestone. Right now 3.0.6 is the default milestone, so please assign new tickets against that milestone.

Cheers,

Michael

Is this TeX code stand alone or is there a patch in there somewhere for the new cookbook? If so we should create the cookbook and migrate chapter by chapter over from the old construction manual. Once that is done we remove const.tex and all the other bits related to it.

Cheers,

Michael

I put a standalone latex file there ( http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/cookbook/coding-theory/sage-coding-cookbook.tex) for just that chapter (not in manual style) but also the full latex setup for a new subdirectory of SAGE_ROOT/devel/doc. I don't know how to make a patch to add a cookbook subdirectory to devel/doc. The programming guide discusses adding new files at  http://sage.scipy.org/sage/doc/html/prog/node72.html The book  http://hgbook.red-bean.com/hgbook.html is hard to search through since the index is for page numbers but the html is in sections, not page numbers.

I've attached a patch to your file  sage-coding-cookbook.tex. It mainly fixes typos. I'm still waiting for sage-3.1.4 to finish building on my machine, so at the moment I can't review the sample code in your file.

Ticket #8466 supersedes the current ticket.
