Sage Day 25.5: Introduction to Sage and Combinatorics

One Day : Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Location : SH-3420, LaCIM, UQAM, Montréal, Canada

Room SH-3420 is located in the Sherbrooke Building
LaCIM - Laboratoire de combinatoire et d'informatique mathématique

Context

Held in sandwich between LaCIM 2010 - 20th aniversary and GASCom conferences, this day is an opportunity for their participants to learn more about Sage. Introductory talks will be given and possibly talks or discussions on Sage adapted to the audience of LaCIM 2010 (algebraic combinatorics, theoretical computer science, bioinformatic, physics and number theory) and GASCom (generation of combinatorial objects and bijective combinatorics). Students starting their Autumn semester will be invited as well. The goals are :

Introduce the audience to Sage and in particular its combinatorial features
Help people installing Sage on their computer
Present topics related to LaCIM 2010 and GASCom conferences (e.g. species theory) and how Sage can be helpful
Give the opportunity for Sage developpers to meet and discuss

About Sage

Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages into a common Python-based interface. Its mission is to create a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab.

A recent video screencast given by William Stein, the initiator of Sage, at Sage Days 25 in India :

Introduction to Sage: History, Goals, Demo, 49 min.

An electronic book in french about mathematics and Sage, under the Creative Commons CC-by-sa license, was published recently :
