SciPy and R would be good. I would ask Ondrej about cool math-physics applications of SymPy too. The documentation of cvxopt is very scant last time I checked. Maybe you can contact the author directly for a good application? I also really like the image processing examples William Stein has been including in his recent talks. I forget the module he used but it provides a great visual. > > Thanks in advance. > > Rob > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
