Conception, birth and developement of a Free math software (Sage) (sagemath.blogspot.com)

I've tried Sage twice but have found the documentation lacking both times. I ended up going back to the individual programs that make it up (Octave,R) and an easier computer algebraic system (mathomatic).


I never thought that history of some math software can be that interesting. Good read.


The "a" in the title is wrong; "software" is a mass noun, not a count noun.


... and the article has random line breaks which makes it almost impossible to read. :)


They're not random, they're at 75 characters! But granted, it does make it difficult to read. Transforming between soft line breaks and no line breaks is a trivial ignored computing problem in my opinion.



read PDF version instead


Or disable/zap CSS.

EDIT: One relatively non-invasive means:

I suggest that one not use bookmarklets without examining them first, confirming for oneself that the are safe. Fortunately, this one's very brief and apparent.
