I realize you are trying to keep it concise, but I have 2 suggestions for geometry and interfaces: geometry: p = polytopes.twenty_four_cell() show(p.render_wireframe(), frame = False) and interfaces (Gfan): r3. = PolynomialRing(QQ,3) vort_ideal = r3.ideal([-6*x*y*z+x*y+x*z+6*y*z-y^2-z^2, -6*x*y

I particularly like the suggestions for projects, which at first blush, look like they are geared to an undergraduate audience. I suspect there are folks with the ability and inclination to contribute to Sage, but they don't always have a good idea where to start. So including these suggestions

I noticed "Here's a benchmark where we see that Pynac is much faster than ECL- based Maxima at a simple task. Maxima-based symbolics were even slower, because before 4.0 they used clisp (so 5 times slower), and the benchmark below doesn't count parsing output, which Maxima-based symbolics did."
