Should I Resign from My Full Professor Job to Work Fulltime on Cocalc?
As lead developer on Axiom, an open source computer algebra system, I can fully appreciate his funding problem.One problem is that open source software can't really handle grants. Government grants require accounting to
handle receipts, and follow all of the rules. We need a couple "open source accounting" people who can handle
managing grants (just like a school's bursar's office).I have tried to find a funding stream for nearly 20 years, without success.I am currently doing computer algebra research as a visiting scholar. That is an unpaid position.
Perhaps you can remain connected to the department as a visiting scholar.If there is some way I can help, please let me know.
