That would be great!
By the way: there are (at least) two important areas which are not
covered at all in the book: probability & statistics and group theory.
The reason for this is simply that we did not find french speaking
authors to write them.
So: this is a call for candidates for writing such chapters for the
would-be English version! And then we would be happy translating them
back to French.
Of course the issue behind the scene is that most specialists of those
areas are working directly with the already existing, and excellent,
open source software R and GAP. So the author pool is small.
Cheers,
Nicolas
