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.

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

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

• Jennifer Balakrishnan (Boston University); topic: Three problems in number theory

Organizers

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

Themes

The themes of the projects and tutorials will be picked by the participants, and are likely to relate to 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)

Projects

trac tickets being worked during days86.

Working on tutorials in autonomy

We suggest to use the following source of tutorials:

• Sage documentation (especially thematic tutorials) : http://doc.sagemath.org/

  • if you want to work on some tutorials from a jupyter notebooks, they are automatically (dirty) exported at https://days86.metelu.net/sage/sage_official_material

• Sébastien's lecture : http://www.slabbe.org/Enseignements/MATH2010/notesdecours/

• Sébastien's 150 exercises : http://www.slabbe.org/Enseignements/MATH2010/exercices.pdf

• Thierry's worksheets (updated along the week) : https://days86.metelu.net/

• Exercises to be done for the April 24-28 School at CRM : exercices_school_april24.pdf

Schedule

Empty slots are made of Tutorials in autonomy and coding sprints.
