One Day : Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

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

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 :
