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.

As Monday April 17th is a holiday, the official program starts on Tuesday 18th. Nevertheless, everyone is encouraged to join on Monday for informal coding sprints and tutorials.

Where

Room PK-4323 of the Président-Kennedy building, 201, av. du Président-Kennedy, Montréal.

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

• ThierryMonteil (CNRS, LIPN, Université Paris Nord); topics: "representations of real and complex numbers in Sage" and "gems of ask.sagemath.org"
