This spring I am teaching a course on "Python and Coding theory", which I suppose would qualify. (I used "Python" as opposed to "Sage" for political reasons, in the name, but it will be Sage that we will use for the most part.) I always use Sage in Differential Equations, but is not easy to tell in advance what I'll be teaching. I usually get to teach at least one semester of DEs though. It is possible that others would want to know what courses you are supporting, which I why I asked.
