BTW, I've more-or-less finished the Differential Calculus and Sage book:

http://wdjoyner.com/teach/calc1-sage/recent/calc1-sage-2009-4-13.pdf

Before they would consider publishing it, JHUP required that the
older "pure Granville+Sage examples" version be rewritten and
changed to make the terminology and examples more relevant to
today's students, a sore disappointment to the versine lovers:-).
Anyway, it is GFDL'd and the source is at
http://wdjoyner.com/teach/calc1-sage/recent/
I don't have a contract yet with JHUP, but am keeping my fingers crossed
that, modulo the preface this is more-or-less the final version.

Anyway, feel free to advertise at the MathFest!

Oh, yes, I didn't mean to imply that it would be free in the future.
However, the PIs are committed to making it pretty reasonable in cost,
as I understand it from conversations with them.
