Some work in the field of finite geometries has been implemented here: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/combinat/sage/combinat/designs/block_design.html There is a lot of work left to be done there. Also related to what you worked on, Sage has an extensive collection of routines on algebraic geometry over finite fields. I don't mean to sound discouraging but that material is more sophisticated. In any case, hopefully one of these topics looks interesting enough to you to dig in further. Please feel free to ask questions here or on sage-support (or even on sage-combinat-devel). > Thank you! > > Sam > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
