Wow, I watched this latter one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWNw_rg4V08) and it's extremely interesting to watch from a developer's perspective. In 3 minutes the guy goes through a really *huge* tutorial, all done on sagenb.org, involving emailing graphs, etc. It's all I think from high school level math (before calculus). Anybody who cares about Sage usability should watch that. The most interesting thing to me is that essentially every single mistake he makes is due to Sage not supporting implicit multiplication. He must have to fix or edit his input nearly 10 times just to fix missing *'s for multiplication. Very interesting. I'm putting "implicit multiplication option in the notebook" on my todo list for next month. (We have it on the command line but not in the notebook.) -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
