Sage Days 86
April 18-21, 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, and 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.

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
