Hello, I want to introduce SAGE to our uni applied math students during student conference. But conference is for research and not software presentations. So I look for an example research topic (can be simple and obvious) to demonstrate the capabilities of SAGE. i'll have ~10 minutes, so just the most common (first years) study topics and sexiest features ;).
Linalg Calculus visual output (graphs, interact), some probablility stuff some symbolic manipulation some combinatorics, maybe number theory maybe some abstract algebra stuff -- probably cryptography might be a good thing to mention --- I want to make very good impression with my example (pseudo)research, and then just mention other topics in some extra slide Any example-topic proposals? -- I think of adapting **Traveling Salesman** problem, so I can show some nice __graphs__ and __combinatorics__, __matrices__ and compare some optimization methods (genetic algorithms and bruteforce I understand best, -- maybe smb can propose more) hope I could __animate__ them. +for calculus purposes and some intrigue -- include (car) velocity mechanics into the model let's say -- the car has no brakes, so it must rely on Friction and not speed too much ;) still not sure, how to incorporate some symbolic algebra in the model... --- different idea was to analyze some social web statistics (Forum or Wiki), and to research browsing, editing or linking patterns or dynamics wikipedia has some stats collected http://stats.grok.se/, http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm I also thought of kind of "wiki-link traveling bot" problem, "How easy would it be to navigate from topicX to topicY (without using search and category links)" Thanks in advance -- Jurgis Pralgauskis omni: 8-616 77613; teledema: 8-657 65656; jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; skype: dz0rdzas; Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
