Hi Sage Devs, I just received this email which links to a report about "global digital math libraries" and also a long and opinionated document by somebody named Nelson Beebe. Since Sage is mentioned a few times in both documents, I thought I would forward them, since maybe some Sage developers might find something of interest. The first document ICERM-2014.pdf seems to aim to be factual and well balanced, whereas I could barely look at the second document entitled "ICERM-2014-NOTES.pdf" without feeling very annoyed...
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nelson H. F. Beebe <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 5:20 PM Subject: [GDML] [gdml] ICERM report and comments To: [email protected] The ICERM (Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics) workshop led to the production of an 18-page report published on the Web on 28-Aug-2014. I read it, and sent a long reply in e-mail to the authors. One of them suggested that I write up my comments in PDF form, and earlier this week, I did so, adding some polishing and additional information, and numerous Web links. The two reports are available here: http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/icerm There is discussion in both of the desirability of global digital math libraries, the main topic of this mailing list, so I expect that some of you may be interested in the two reports. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
