True (apart from a few exceptions). Part of our mission at FOSSEE (fossee.in, site still needs work) is to try and change that indirectly by getting Python into engineering and science education. See this talk I gave at scipy09 for example: http://www.archive.org/details/scipy09_day2_16-Prabhu_Ramachandran > There's got to be mathematicians and programmers in India who would > love to contribute to Sage, and a Sage Days there near ICM is a great > idea. Absolutely. I've personally introduced a few friends at IITB to Sage who actively use it in their research and I demo it all over the place. We also made a live DVD (Ubuntu 9.04 based) of a whole bunch of Python goodies along with sage and distribute that free at workshops (we distributed 100 at scipy09). I just haven't had the time to announce anything here though. :( cheers, prabhu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
