Boothby: >FYI, any time that I search for any sort of statistics term and Sage, >I get lots of hits at the SAGE publications site. Try doing the google search for +"sage programming". Surprisingly, on the first two pages of results there aren't hits for either the Sage accounting software or the Sage publisher. I think "programming" reduces the number of those. There are other false positives though. E.g., there is the Sage programming language!! http://sage.soe.ucsc.edu/ "Sage is a prototype functional programming language designed to provide high-coverage checking of expressive program specifications (types). Sage allows a programmer to specify not only simple types such as "Integers" and "Strings" but also..." I hope Bill Hart runs off and learns it so he can tell us if it is useful for something :-). -- William -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- 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
