What should be included in the tutorial that's not already there? In another thread

I've posted a version of the tutorial with a few pictures here: <http://www.math.washington.edu/~palmieri/Sage/tut/tut-pix.pdf> The pictures appear around page 20, in the plotting section. These also appear just fine in the static html version (but not in the live version, which doesn't bother me too much, since users can evaluate the code to reproduce the pictures). However, I can't decide if the interact stuff should be in the tutorial. The results are great, but the code required to produce them might be daunting to beginners. So should we include some @interact examples or not? If so, is it best to have a separate section on @interact (this is what I'm thinking right now) or to scatter a few @interact examples throughout the manual, e.g., in the diff eq section? > 2) The tutorial should have some simple stats examples, pretty early > on I think.

I think a section on statistics is a good idea, but I'm not the person to write it. How about some graph theory? Other combinatorics? I don't know Sage's capabilities in these areas, so what's worth including in the tutorial?
