I'm interested in assumptions, but I think someone else would be better suited for the task. Plotting I probably could do a good job on since I have a good background in both numerical methods and computer graphics. >> >> I've done work related to Sage before.

That way, more can be added to it and I can't really see a current module (other than possibly physics) that it fits in. I've forked the main repository, so I'll see about doing this. I see my first thought on an issue to handle has already been fixed.
