Hi, If somebody walked up to *you* and asked: "Is Sage now a viable alternative to MATLAB?" what would you say? I'm especially interested in what people who do numerical/applied computation think.
My answer: "It's very difficult for *me* to answer this question myself, because MATLAB is useless for most of my own teaching/research/work, but I realize it is very widely used in applied mathematics. Based on going to Scipy and the resources I've seen online, it appears that the Numpy/Scipy stack is extremely useful to actual people doing numerical computation. Maybe I'll try asking on sage-devel." [NOTE: I am interested in people's answers, rather than somebody hijacking this thread to try to define "viable alternative" or say this isn't a scientific survey or something. Please try not to hijack this thread.
