Awesome! I used a sage notebook hooked up to a video projector
for my final presentation in a statistical physics class. I used
random matrices and random graphs and just scrolled through a
notebook with code, images, latex and html to give my talk. I
too mention sage every chance I get.
So is anybody going to the Scipy conference next week in Pasadena?
