Drake Sage Group

This page documents activities of the Drake University Sage group. We regularly meet on Fridays, 11:30-12:20, in Howard 111 (at Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa, USA)

Our initial work is on a single-cell compute server, which basically is a webpage that can execute an arbitrary block of Sage code.

For more information, please contact Jason Grout at jason#[email protected] (replace the # with a .)
