Sage-FLINT Days
Organisers: John Cremona, William Hart, ....
What
A Sage Days workshop around the theme of Algorithms in Number Theory and FLINT.
Sage is an Open Source distribution of mathematical software. See http://www.sagemath.org/
FLINT (Fast Library for Number Theory) is a fast Open Source C library for support of computations in Number Theory which is a component of Sage. See http://www.flintlib.org/
See below for further details on the aims of this Sage Days. Please feel free to add additional project suggestions.
Where
Warwick University in the UK (http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/general/institute/)
When
17 - 23rd December 2011 (the formal program will finish on 21st, but participants can remain until 23rd to collaborate and code). The lecture room will be available from 9am until 10pm daily.
Program
- Two invited talks per day (including intro to Sage talks)
- A single evening public lecture
- Coding sprints.
Invited Speakers
TBA.
Registration and financial support
Registration is now open for this event.
A limited amount of financial support is available for overseas and UK participants. Please let us know if you require support by indicating this on the registration page.

Registration is free.
Aims of the workshop
- Present and discuss recent algorithmic developments in Computational Number Theory.
- Introduce Sage to UK Number Theorists.
- Introduce Sage to Warwick researchers, postgrads and undergrads.
- Foster collaborations between UK researchers (including the large Computational Number Theory group at Warwick) and other Sage contributors.
Suggested coding sprints (please feel free to add others to the wiki)
- Put flint2 into Sage
- Switch some of the mwrank code to use flint2.
- Help the Singular developers make better use of flint2.
