Hello, At the occasion of a week on "interaction between math and computing science" in Marseille (February 2010) we aim to develop an enhanced interface to Sage for a usage in secondary school. The rules we use are approximately the following: * avoid the oriented object syntax. "Important" mathematical tools must be available as function (for example the roots command). * reduce the namespace such that the <tab> completion really helps (no more Elliptic Curve nor FastFourierTransform ;-)). We think about using a system of "package" for special features (as maple do with the "with" statement). * write some help in english and french for polynoms, functions, sequences, ... * (last step) write some nice interactive worksheets as elementary as possible
What will be included in the namespace is listed here: http://wiki.sagemath.org/MathsAuLycee and corresponds approximately to the secondary school program in France. I also opened a demo notebook at : https://139.125.6.88:8001 that will evolve soon. The work is in progress and there is a lot of problem to resolve. I will be happy if I can have any suggestions for improvement, feedback about the usage, functions needed...
