(There may well be more…)

I will be most interested in chatting with persons interested  
in doing a demonstration _for Mathematica_ using certain Ruby  
software that I have developed.

My specific interest is in the medical field but other areas of  
interest may exist for Mathematica. Mathematica Corporation is  
interested in the Medical field also. Weighting of medical studies  
was one topic discussed.

If this is somehow not appropriate for this board then there is a  
private forum for this here:

It may be more interesting to look at this:

A CAS is a package comprising a set of algorithms for performing symbolic manipulations on algebraic objects, a language to implement them, and an environment in which to use the language. A CAS may include a user interface and graphics capability; and to be effective may require a large library of algorithms, efficient data structures and a fast kernel.

That is however a really, really cool link, and thanks for finding it.  
Previous experience on the list indicates that people here do not use  
Mathematica.
