There are lots of questions sage-support in which people trying to do basic calculus or plotting have gotten confused about how to specify a "function" to be plotted, differentiated, etc. The attached patch adds a section to the tutorial with some remarks about this issue.
Looks good to me. Well I sort of don't like the **'s instead of ^'s, but that's just a very minor style issue. All of the actual text looks good, and I like the description.
I.e., in each of the code blocks there is some text afterwards explaining the example, and it is typeset as code instead of text. I don't know why. Again, just a minor ReST issue. Mhansen?
Sorry about the ReST output. I was trying to balance two things, and failed. Given my limited knowledge of ReST, I can either make all of the sage output accessible to doctesting, or I can have the text indented the way I want for an enumerated list, but not both. In the new version of the patch (along with updated html on the cited web page), I've gone for the first option: doctesting sees and tests all of the examples.
(I also changed "**" to carets, since I don't care much one way or the other, and was expressed a preference.)

See http://www.math.washington.edu/~palmieri/tutorial/tour_functions.html for a typeset version (although you can just type 'sage -docbuild tutorial html' to get your own version).
