* open with a statement of what sage is for

* statement of nfs support on page 1

* example calculations sage can do:

     - det of ...
     - ell curves (p-adic l-series; sha)
     - zeta functions for p-adic methods
     - combine matlab, mathematica, maple, maxima, singular, gap, etc., together. 
     - multiply polys over ZZ
     - graph isomorphism
     - algebraic topology -- mention Steenrod algebras

* why python/cython

* address why nzmath is the wrong approach: 
    e.g., very damning statements on page 8 about no peer review.

* something about mupad-combinat --> sage-combinat  

* something about algebraic topology


Main areas:

    - number theory & arith geom
    - algebraic combinatorics
    - symbolic comp
    - graph theory
    - algebraic topology
