Hello ! Regarding this request, William has a question which interactive visualization objects would be most useful for people with combinatorial inclination. Certainly graphs, trees, but I guess also 3- or multi-dimensional objects such as plane partitions and polytopes ... Anything else?

Yo ! Hey, just to make it clear: I am not supporting their grant request industry. I could not care less, and if anything I just hate to see that people use Sage (which includes some of my own work) to request solid money for themselves. I just did not want to let you have the last word

Yo ! Does Math directorate pay for programmers to write open-source versions of commercial software? flame Of course not. It is just that when commercial softwares fail to do the job, we have to do it in their stead. And we cannot seriously expect them to implement what we need for our

I looked at the NSF-OCI solicitation. Maybe I'm not seeing what you think is a target. I found this - Enable academic departments, disciplinary and cross-disciplinary units, or multi-organization consortia to renovate research facilities through the addition or augmentation of

Hi Anne, I agree with Dima in that it would be great to have some of the basic ring theory available in improved. There are some basic deficiencies with (Laurent) polynomial rings, especially in more than one variable and it would great if all of the problems with quite basic rings could be
