@uwlax.eduResources
While there are many resources (below) that need a better organizational structure (tags?), my most recent project is the following Sage Demo, which shows many of the computations and ideas of the typical computational undergraduate curriculum (solving equations, simplifying expressions, graphing, derivatives, integrals, linear algebra). Each of the scripts can be modified on the webpage and re-evaluated. My hope is that the examples give just enough detail that someone who is interested in adopting Sage can create their own script based on these examples.- Probably of interest at UWL only
