New OborWiki feature: math with SageMath

The Sage Cell recipe is now installed on OborWiki (off by default; you can enable it via the Configurator). It brings the power of the SageMath computer algebra system to OborWiki.

The markup required to embed a Sage cell is very simple:

(:sage:)
var('x,y')
f(x)=x^2
plot(f,(x,-3,5))
(:sageend:)

See the Sage Cell recipe info page for a list of options that the (:sage:) directive can take.

Enumerating the capabilities of SageMath is far, far beyond the scope of a blog post; I’ll note only that it is tremendously powerful and capable. See the SageMath website for more information, documentation, a feature tour, etc.
