SMC offers both the numerical capabilities of MatLab and the analytical tools of Mathematica that will meet the students' needs. It also will provide a great introduction to programming via Python that will expose students to this essential skill as the go through their coursework.

I wanted to say thanks for installing those compilers I asked about a few weeks ago. I'm using Sage Cloud in my Programming Languages course, and I have one big project with all 34 students on it. I tested out a teaching idea this week where the entire class collectively writes some code to solve an exercise problem (after first working it out in small groups), and it worked really well. I could say things like "OK, what do we do next" and then I could have a student type something in while the whole class watches, and then another student could fix something from the first student's code, etc. The students thought it was pretty cool, and I did too. I'm really looking forward to using this the rest of the semester.

Thanks for making this system available!

The LaTeX in SMC is phenomenal and I really love the ability to store all of my files together in a project. It's hard to say how awesome these features are! This is handy for any kind of work; from a teaching perspective, I think this will be particularly useful in sharing information and providing an unified workspace.

I have definitely noticed the recent hardware upgrades. I am using cloud.sagemath in a classroom of 36 students (undergraduate physics), and cloud.sagemath has been nice and fast...very zippy. Results are coming right back at us. It's great!
