The existing SAGE tutorial by Bill Stein has a lot of good information, but is hard to assimilate. It would be really great to have a tutorial written with highschool students in mind. (This would also be useful for others who are not professional mathematicians).
Also, I'd like to suggest that the discussion of polynomials should not start with polynomial rings. The average highschool student (or working engineer) has no idea what a polynomial ring is. I'd really like to see some examples that show how to define polynomials with rational or decimal coefficients, multiply two such polynomials together, factor a polynomial to find the roots (using numerical methods if necessary), divide one polynomial by another to yield the quotient and remainder, and so on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
