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.)
