Hi William, Perhaps if there is a will there is a way. Let me explain my interest in Sage and the Sage-Maple interface. (I am sorry if this belongs in the sage-edu group.) I teach the Computational Physics course at the University of Toronto. It is Maple based and I have about 30 upper level students each year. The cost of the Maple site license for the computer lab is not a big issue, and most students buy Maple as well through the Maple Adoption Program. But I am looking at Sage for two reasons. 1) Lower level students in our department are now being introduced to VPython. 2) I am not a big fan of the Maple front end. On the other hand the symbolic power of Maple in the areas of int, solve, dsolve, pdsolve, LinearAlgebra, VectorCalculus, and the Physics package is likely to remain of interest in any future Computational Physics course. Thus my interest in just how tightly integrated Sage and Maple could become. (I have a few little Maple and Sage routines to transfer results from Maple to Sage, so that looks promising...) -- Bob Holdom Professor of Physics Unversity of Toronto --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
