= Sage Days 86 =
'''''April 17-21, 2017, Montreal, Canada'''''
~-(originally planned May 8-12, 2017)-~
At the occasion of the thematic semester [[http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/Combinatorics2017/index.php/|Algebra and words in combinatorics]] from March to July 2017, a [[https://wiki.sagemath.org/Workshops|Sage Days]] will be held at [[http://lacim.uqam.ca/en/|Laboratoire de combinatoire et d'informatique mathématique (LaCIM)]] of [[http://www.uqam.ca/|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 [[http://carte.uqam.ca/pavillon-pk|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 [[http://sagemath.org|SageMath]] and related software.
* (would be) developers that want to participate to coding sprints.
== Invited speakers ==
* [[http://bergeron.math.uqam.ca/|François Bergeron]] (LaCIM, Université du Québec à Montréal); topic: experimental mathematics
* [[http://www-groups.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~jamesm|James Mitchell]] (CIRCA, University of St Andrews); topic: [[https://gap-packages.github.io/Semigroups/|GAP's semigroup package]] and the [[https://james-d-mitchell.github.io/libsemigroups/|libsemigroup]] C++ library [[https://goo.gl/NvRrAv|slides]]
* ThierryMonteil (CNRS, LIPN, Université Paris Nord); topics: "representations of real and complex numbers in Sage" and "gems of [[https://ask.sagemath.org|ask.sagemath.org]]"
* [[http://math.bu.edu/people/jbala/|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 ==

== 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 : [[attachment:exercices_school_april24.pdf]]
== Schedule ==
Empty slots are made of Tutorials in autonomy and coding sprints.
