Definitely completely delete that stuff. I also recently gave a talk (at an AMS meeting in Albuqueque), and it is critical to *not* emphasize these sorts of things too much, as I learned the hard way. > One might argue that as things implemented natively in Sage, these will > count toward the innovation category.

Like the notebook, interfaces to other programs such as Fortran, Lisp, PARI, etc., using Python but making it usable for mathematics via preparsing, very nice 2d graphics, etc. 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/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
