Sage Days 86

April 17-21, 2017, Montreal, Canada

(originally planned May 8-12, 2017)

At the occasion of the thematic semester Algebra and words in combinatorics from March to July 2017, a Sage Days will be held at Laboratoire de combinatoire et d'informatique mathématique (LaCIM) of Université du Québec à Montréal.

Monday April 17th is a holiday and LaCIM will be closed. We will meet somewhere downtown for informal coding sprints (stay tuned). The official program will therefore start on Tuesday.

Target audience

• Newcomers to advanced users that want to learn more about and get training on the open source mathematical system SageMath and related software.

• (would be) developers that want to participate to coding sprints.

Invited speakers

• François Bergeron (LaCIM, Université du Québec à Montréal); topic: experimental mathematics

• James Mitchell (CIRCA, University of St Andrews); topic: GAP's semigroup package and the libsemigroup C++ library

• Thierry Monteil (CNRS, CALIN, Université Paris Nord); topic: TBA

• Jennifer S. Balakrishnan (Boston University); topic: TBA

Organizers

• Sébastien Labbé (CNRS, LaBRI, Université de Bordeaux)
• Nicolas M. Thiéry (Université Paris Sud)

Where

Monday: TBA

Tuesday-Friday: Room PK-4323 of the Président-Kennedy building

Themes

The themes will certainly be influenced by the four main workshops held during the semester:

• Combinatorics on Words and Tilings (March 27 -- April 7 2017)
• Bridges between Automatic Sequences, Algebra and Number Theory (April 24 -- May 5 2017)
• Algebraic and Geometric Combinatorics of Reflection Groups (May 29 -- June 9 2017)
• Equivariant Combinatorics (June 12-23 2017)
