I usually ignore RJF, but in this I just want to encourage everybody else to also ignore him too... regarding his discouragement about everything, especially Ursula's excellent suggestion. I'm sure the AMS would be very interesting in publishing more pieces that involve computational mathematics/software, and likely only don't because they don't have quality submissions enough to choose from. I published one there several years ago about open source [1]. -- William [1] http://www.ams.org/notices/200710/tx071001279p.pdf >> >> >> And here's a public worksheet: >> >> https://cloud.sagemath.com/projects/49a2531d-9d02-42c9-9db6-f9551fbfa59e/files/2014-10-24-212837.sagews >> >> (Thanks, William, for making public worksheets!) >> >> Next challenge: implement their mathematica notebooks in Sage. >> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
