 * ''John Doe, Jane Deer'': '''Graphing antlers'''. The branching of the antlers of three year-old moose and cariboo form intricate mathematical patterns. We will produce an applet that illustrates the growth of these structures.  * ''Mclean Edwards, Scott Zhou'': '''BFGS Iterates'''. Plotting iterates, in an interactive manner, of the celebrated BFGS method for the minimization of nonconvex and convex functions. Comparison of sage, jyscript/piscript, and our own python-based solutions.
 * ''Jakub Marecek'': '''Toy Integer Programming Solver'''. A very limited integer programming solver for instances with 3 variables, but complete with several primal heuristics in use today, and visualising the workings nicely. (Java & vtkHull?)

 * ''Zhivko Nedev'': '''Encoding/Representing a class of combinatorial structures and making tools for their visualization and analysis'''. The comb. structure is a MINIMAL edge coloring of K_n, the complete graph, with the following properties:
        1. No two adjacent edges have the same color.
        2. Our coloring splits the set of edges of K_n into color classes; we require that every class has at least two members.
        3. The coloring is minimal by inclusion. That is, if we delete any subset of vertices of K_n (and any adjacent edges), then property 2 is violated - there will be at least one color class with one member.
 * ''Adam Getchell'': '''Nonlinear Dynamics in SAGE'''. Illustrate and solve solutions to non-linear equations. Add basic cobweb diagrams. Wrap Maxima's CTensor package and compare speed with SAGE's Christoffel symbol calculation in calculus/tests.py.
