That's pretty cool. Could you change the title of the link to Sage on the "python math lab" webpage from " SAGE: System for Arithmetic Geometry Experimentation, a CAS developed by William Stein et.al." to " SAGE: Open Source Mathematical Software, a Python-based CAS developed by William Stein et al."

Regarding S-integral points, it would be best to break the project up into several subtasks (I'm not sure what the subtasks are). -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
