Open Source Mathematics
,----[ Quote ]
| Maths is a famously lonely discipline - I should know, having spent three
| years of my life grappling with a single equation (the equation won).
| Mathematicians meet, and collaborate, it's true; but what would a truly open
| source approach to the process of solving mathematical problems look like?

| [PJ: Note Mathematica is claiming full import/export for ODF. Here's the
| import explanation, and note the lovely graphic. And here's the import/export
| page, showing all the other formats it can handle. I wonder if this could be
| used for our tables conversion work on monthly statements in the bankruptcy?
| Even if not, it's another application on the list of applications that
| support ODF.]
