back to sage main page should be localized

Practically every la/_la.html or la/index.html has this in it.

{% block header_text %}
<a href="{{ 'index.html'|prefix }}">back to Sage main page</a>
{% endblock %}

?? Why not localized? Probably just never happened.

MarkerClusterer is missing, deprecated or updated?!

Sitemaps for documentation indexing

@haraldschilly since you blacklisted /doc/ and /documentation/ more links are going directly to the desired subdomain doc.sagemath.org. I am noticing though that many items still relay on the manual redirection and are not getting updated in Google's index.

A friend and I wrote a JavaScript utility to create text-file listings of all files in a GitHub website filtered by extension with optional redirection from the default github.io location:

http://exploratoria.github.io/lib/github-api/sitemap.html

In order to speed up Google's indexing of the documentation, I would suggest a sitemap of all .html files in /documentation/html/ and all .pdf files in /documentation/pdf/. If you want me to create these sitemaps, I'm happy to submit a pull request for them. You of course would then need to submit them through Google's Webmaster Tools.

Thebe "activate" button on website

The button to make documentation examples live is meant to be active only in the context of Jupyter notebooks, but appears on website pages. Clicking it then clicking "run" after an example leads to an error message and makes the website appear broken.

Is this something that should be fixed here or in SageMath? Was the integration of Thebe on https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/20690 done correctly? Should I move this discussion to sage-devel?

Move "usage" on download pages to top

If you aren't used to "selecting mirrors", the way that all the download pages look is the worst possible advertisement to Sage. Those sections should be moved to the top, and possibly the wording of

Please select a download server close to your location below.

should be changed to something like

Before choosing your download, please select a download server close to your location from the list below.

Change uSageMath to something else or clarify it

One thing I find confusing:

<li><a href="{{ 'help-uSage.html'|prefix }}">u{{ sage }} User Groups</a></li>

Amazingly, the link etc. works, but the u in both instances is really confusing. I guess maybe just "Sage User Groups" would be easier" - I assume the u was discussed on sage-devel at some point, maybe "uS[eS]agemath" like uSeR? But for R it rolls off the tongue easier and makes sense.

Anyway, the current link looks like a typo.

Suggestion: Mention VBoxHeadless as an option for running the Windows virtual machine somewhere

Last night I was poking around the VirtualBox docs and discovered you can start and stop a VM from the windows command prompt with no visual output at all. Since I only use the firefox interface and very rarely have a reason to mess around in the VM itself once I've set everything up initially this seems less clunky than having the machine actually running in a window. It feels like this method drags the system down less too (my laptop's not the best), but that might just be placebo effect.

Start machine (from command prompt or the windows Run dialog):
c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxheadless -startvm Sage-6.6

Shutdown machine:
c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxmanage controlvm Sage-6.6 savestate

Mistakes in Sage Calculus Tutorial on Differentiability

[Hello, everyone! I originally sent this as an email to Elliott Brossard, but since he's no longer maintaining content on the website, he suggested that I post my feedback here. -- Fred]

Hi Elliott,

Thanks for all your time and effort on the Sage Calculus Tutorial. The plots and the mathematical typesetting are beautifully done!

I'm writing to report some mathematical mistakes in the tricky proofs on the Differentiability page. You're trying to show that the absolute value function, denoted by g, is not differentiable at zero.

You argued that "since the limit of g'(x) as x approaches 0 from the left ≠ the limit of g'(x) as x approaches 0 from the right, g'(0) does not exist." The conclusion is incorrect. Since the left- and right-hand limits are different, you've proven that the two-sided limit of g'(x) as x approaches 0 does not exist. This shows that the derivative g' must be discontinuous at zero, if it exists there; however, this does not prove that g'(0) does not exist. In this counterexample, the derivative g' is discontinuous at zero, like in your example, but g'(0) actually exists.

To show that g'(0) does not exist, you have to appeal directly to the definition of the derivative as the limit of the difference quotient. You did this for g'(x) for general x and derived an expression that is undefined when x is 0, but that's not a valid proof of non-existence at 0. (Also, the 2x in the numerator immediately after cancellation should be 2x + h.)

You need to substitute x = 0 into the limit definition from the very beginning and then evaluate the two one-sided limits. You'll get the limit of |h|/h as h approaches 0. The limit from the left yields -h/h = -1, and the limit from the right yields h/h = 1. Since the one-sided limits disagree, the two-sided limit does not exist, and neither does the derivative g'(0).

If you want to update the web page, I'd be happy to give it another look. I taught university calculus for umpty-ump years and am currently copy editing a collection of calculus questions on the Khan Academy website.

All the best,

Titles of localized websites should be in that language

E.g. look at http://www.sagemath.org/fr/ , which inexplicably has "French" in several places. (Auto-generated template? Though it is also in https://github.com/sagemath/website/blob/master/src/fr/_fr.html and https://github.com/sagemath/website/blob/master/src/fr/index.html .

Yet this is not universal - see https://github.com/sagemath/website/blob/master/src/fr/telecharger.html and maybe some of the other localizations. Ideally we would use http://babel.pocoo.org/ or something for this, but probably that's too much work.
