Sage Days 38

Note

What's New:

Sage is a mathematics software package, developed by and for the mathematics community. It aims to become a viable alternative to commercial software packages on the basis of an open-source model.

Theme

This workshop will be a 5-day intensive workshop to serve both as introduction to Sage and as an open developers meeting. The event will include a combination of mathematical talks, tutorials, demonstrations of Sage functionality as well as time spent on Sage development. The principal focus of the developers meeting is algebraic combinatorics and the representation theory of algebras.

Location and Date

Invited speakers

  • Meinolf Geck, University of Aberdeen
  • Florent Hivert, LRI, Université Paris-Sud
  • Anne Schilling, University of California Davis
  • Øyvind Solberg, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
  • Nicolas Thiéry, LMO, Université Paris-Sud
  • Derek Ruths, McGill University

Who should attend

You! A specific goal of the workshop is to provide a venue for faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students to learn more about the software. This will make it accessible to researchers at all levels, even those without any prior experience with Sage. Since it will be held in May, it is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students embarking on summer research projects and graduate students looking to incorporate scientific computation into their research projects.
