Sage Days 67: PyCon 2015

General Information

PyCon is the largest gathering of the python community. The 2015 session is held in Montreal on April 8-16. Sage Days 67 are a satellite event which will occur on April 13-16, during the PyCon sprints.

You can participate to both PyCon and Sage-Days or only to Sage-Days. We invite every member of the community to join, especially students and Sage newbies.

These Sage-Days are not specialized in one specific mathematical topic: the idea is to discover the different functionalities of Sage and the different development (basic and advanced) that take place within Sage to improve mathematical research. It is also a good place to initiate a development project on some missing functionalities. And last but not least, it is the perfect place to meet and discuss with other python open-source communities which will be attending PyCon (IPython, SciPy, ...).

When & Where

Sage-Days 67 will be held in Montreal Convention center (Palais des congrès) and /or at the UQAM during the 2015 PyCon sprints April 13-16, it is a satellite event to PyCon which is organized as follows:

  • April 10-12 Main conference
  • April 13-16 PyCon sprints / Sage Days 67
