Statistics is probably another area that is quite a bit bigger than the 
area you mention :).  We provide R, maxima, and scipy, but only a very 
small bit of (fast, specialized) code of our own.  Numerical linear 
algebra is another area, I think (we provide scipy, but little more than 
that).

(Hopefully that will change in the near future as statistics and other 
patches are merged in...)
