I'm working on modeling the efficacy of a hypothetical infectious vaccine (like the live polio vaccine). I have lots of small coding chunks that makes the sage notebook great for working through each section of the problem. Sage including scipy and networkx has eliminated a lot of the tedium I would have had to churn through otherwise, while native plotting allows easy visualization. An earlier implementation in Mathematica 6.0 was orders of magnitude slower for a simpler simulation. While neither implementation was optimized, my first pass in python/sage was much more effective, and easier to write and understand.
