In MATH courses: I used SAGE for a Numerical Analysis course. And recently I submitted a book for publication that uses SAGE for the implementation of numerical algorithms. Also I will prepare a workshop at a sectional MAA meeting that should advertise SAGE to even more educators. Personally, I love the sagecell features that does not involve any installation. It's lightweight, and always up-to-date.
I also teach CS courses, and it can be of great use in our CS 0 course. I plan to use it more extensively in CS 0, the next time I teach it. Since it is open source, it has a great potential to be introduced in CS2 courses, where students learn about data structures, recursivity, etc. Ideally (but I am still far behind on this matter) I would like to get involved with the development of Sage, and also involve senior students to work on Capstone projects that will involve Sage. So I think the future is very bright. Alex.
