I would like to emphasize the importance of integrating R. I have given a few sage demonstrations lately, and I think I would have won over a lot more people if it was included. Since I don't use it myself, I have not volunteered for it, but I am happy to play a supporting role testing, etc. It

I mostly agree with the things stated above, and sage.calculus is clearly an important part for applications. Still, we should also consider other possible uses. I recently talked to Michael Abshoff about whether we are planning to make R a part of SAGE. He told me that William was convinced that i
