It is very convenient, but you have no idea of the source of the data. Hence I'd only use it for a bit of 'fun'. I tried it a few times and found it to be very incomplete.
Most scientists would find the data themselves, check out the source, then read the data. You are not going to find too many data files having the same format, so you are still going to need to configure an interface to the data. Mathematica does not even use the internationally agreed value for the charge on an electron - I doubt I'd trust the source of other data they have. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
