Sage Days 79 - November 21 -- November 24, 2016, Jerusalem

First Sage Days in Israel

Einstein Institute of Mathematics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Topics: Combinatorics, Symbolic dynamics

This Sage Days is the first one organized in Israel under the framework of the European Research Council (ERC) grant entitled: “Avenues in Probabilistic and Geometric Combinatorics”. The aim of the meeting will be to introduce the software to students and mathematicians in the region, with further emphasis on (but not limited to) geometric combinatorics and symbolic dynamics. It will be a great occasion to learn more about the software and for advanced developers to present and improve current tools.

Organizers: Jean-Philippe Labbé.

Dates and Venue

Date: 4 days from November 21 to November 24, 2016

Fridays are usually considered weekend days in Israel.

Venue: Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Givat Ram Campus, (exact rooms TBA)

Program

The program will include introduction tutorials to Sage, combinatorics and symbolic dynamics in Sage. The meeting will include scientific talks and there will also be time for code sprints.

Detailed schedule to be announced.
