Sage and cluster algebra workshop
The Sage and cluster algebra workshop will be hold at the University of Hannover, Germany, February 8-10 2012.
Requirements
- I suggest that everyone attending uses laptop with a linux or mac os system and knows how to work with it (like installing things). Alternatively, people can also use the Sage-Combinat server at http://sage.lacim.uqam.ca, but that will not be the preferred way as it tents to be not completely reliable.
- It would also be appreciated if everyone tries to install Sage and the optional Sage-Combinat package before the course starts. For instructions see http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/Installation.
- Basic (or even a little more advanced) programming skills are not required but will be very helpful.
Further reading
- The Sage documentation http://sagemath.org/help.html#SageStandardDoc.
- The compendium for the cluster algebra and quiver package http://arxiv.org/abs/1102.4844.
- For further references to background on cluster algebras and quivers see the references in the compendium.
