User reviews

I'm a math postdoc - I use it all the time! The great power of the Sage combined with the full fledged necessary essentials for every researcher (ability to access terminal, have a private project space, collaboratively produce TeX documents)... I can calculate the results, generate beautiful plots or TeX code of a table automatically, export it to file which is then used by the TeX compiler within the same environment... truely amazing! Probably the first online thing in my life I'm actually considering paying for.
