Description

From the thread 'benchmarking CAS' in newsgroup sci.math.symbolic

I am not a SAGE user, but the sagemath.org website created the
impression that SAGE is just some kind of front end to other
packages.  I wanted to learn more about this system, but there is no
"About SAGE" link on the front page and the FAQ is not very
informative.

You are right! There is no 'about Sage' page on the web site.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Milestone changed from sage-3.1.1 to sage-3.1

Due to Harald Schilly's hard work we now have

 http://sagemath.org/tour.html

which I consider a solution to the above ticket. So I am considering this issue resolved and should more specific issues be raised those should be done via new tickets.

Cheers,

Michael
