Seems a pretty interesting program. As kcrisman says it can fill the gap between geogebra and Sage. I think that working in that unfilled spaces is important from and educative perspective. In fact there was a Sage variant called SPD (Source Python Distribution) that start small and could (theoretically) grow up to (normal) Sage. The bridge that you create between Geogebra or Yacas and Sage with this project and the concern with interface and education is something worth. I will show this project to my students. Now some questions: * I saw that you create mathpiper as a fork of yacas. Could you say me more about this (yacas was one of my favorite CAS before Sage and still has a "place in my heart" because of his philosophy, size and language syntax sugar). * Do you say that mathpiper can run as an applet in a web browser. Have you seen 280slides.com? Do you think that is possible to build a web interface for Mathrider in a similar fashion? * Java is everywhere. How feasible is to give python support in Mathrider using jython?
