One thought is to make it easier to use the graph theory functionality to do things useful in social network analysis. This would involve R and Sage and NetworkX (all standard components). Lots of people are interested in SNA, from google to the military. It would require some knowledge of probability, statistics, and graph theory. > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
