Who on earth thinks that the Sieve of Eratosthenes is designed for modern production work??? Or Euler's Method (well, I'm not a numerical analyst, so maybe, but I assume other integration is more prominent). In some cases of course this is useful to prefix, and we have http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/polynomial_rings/sage/rings/polynomial/toy_buchberger.html and things like that for such cases. If the documentation of any given method says it's for educational purposes only - and there are a number of those - then that seems fine to me. - kcrisman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
