Description
Sage is free and open-source software that supports research and teaching throughout mathematics. Both the Sage development model and the technology itself are distinguished by a strong emphasis on openness, community, cooperation, and collaboration: Sage is about building the car, not reinventing the wheel. Sage is several hundred thousand lines of new code that uses standard open source libraries and programs (such as GAP, Maxima, Singular, PARI, and Python) and more specialized libraries to create a unified and powerful open source mathematical software system. Sage has recently had two major improvements with regards to combinatorics. First, Robert Miller and Emily Kirkman have used NetworkX to provide a huge amount of graph theory functionality in Sage, much more than is provided by NetworkX itself.

Ground transportation
From the airport into Westwood
- Many people have asked us about travel to and from LAX. There are several options, of varying price and speed, but probably one of the best is the relatively new LAX Flyaway Shuttle:
- The Westwood shuttle will take you to a parking lot that's part of the UCLA campus (though still a few minutes walk from the main part of the campus). A map with that parking lot, Hilgard House, and IPAM (which is labeled "Portola Plaza building") can be found here:
From Lot 32 to IPAM, via shuttle
There is a campus shuttle from where the Westwood shuttle drops you off to close IPAM, if you don't feel like walking. A map is [http://www.transportation.ucla.edu/portal/maps/cemap/CEMAP.htm here], and more information on the shuttle can be found [http://map.ais.ucla.edu/portal/site/UCLA/menuitem.789d0eb6c76e7ef0d66b02ddf848344a/?vgnextoid=bd4aaad23985c010VgnVCM200000dd6643a4RCRD here].
Walking directions from Lot 32 to IPAM
- You'll be dropped off at Parking Structure 32 (in sector D8 on the map), and you're trying to get to IPAM in F4, which is labeled "Portola Plaza Building." Take Kinross east to Westwood, then turn left and take Westwood into campus. As Westwood dead-ends, there will be a stairway to the right; go up that and follow the street (Portola Plaza). IPAM will be ahead and slightly to your left.
Walking directions from Lot 32 to Hilgard House
- From Lot 32, walk east on Kinross Ave. Follow the road past Westwood Blvd, and it will bear right (just past Haagen-Dazs). Keep following it to the right, until it hits Lindbrook Dr. Make a left on Lindbrook Dr., follow it to Hilgard Ave (the next intersection), and make a left. Hilgard House is ahead on the left, at 927 Hilgard Ave.
