Speaking of grad student contibution to Sage, I thinl dSage is one such
contribution. I'm wondering if dSage is still supported for doing
distributed computing problems with Sage over a cluster. My
independent study computer science students would love to use dSage!

Hi,
Being this a list on Sage and education I will keep the discussion here
because ideas on interface could be useful for sage in particular and
for education problems and CAS in general. If it becomes too much
general or Sage unrelated and this is not the place for it, please tell me.

Hi,
Thanks for your answers. I think also that starting simple and small is
a way to increase the use of Sage also. My questions about interface and
language because I'm trying to use CAS in education with notebooks with
a textual oriented interface instead of notebooks with a calculation

Hi Ted,
I don't know if anyone who has the expertise in programming (not me!)
might have the time
Hi Ted,
It is admirable what you are trying to do with mathrider. I am 100%
with you that this can have a phenomenal influence on math education
in middle/high school and college levels. I would like to start
digging into this thing. In the link you provided, there is really not
much info at all
