Sage Education Day 1
The first Sage Education Day is being held with the generous cooperation of the organizers of Sage Days 18.
Topics
- Intro to using Sage for math in the classroom
- Using Sage in specific courses (multivariable calculus and group theory - tentative)
Intro to the Lurch math proof software project
- Sage implementation in the classroom - logistics and more
- Roundtable discussions on general math software, and on math and word processing - for both, what works and what doesn't
See below for the official schedule.
Logistics
- Date and Location: December 5, 2009 at the Clay Mathematics Institute (Cambridge, MA), from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, with a lunch break from 12:30-1:30.
Driving directions can be found at the Official Clay Mathematics Institute Visitors Page. Parking meters of the coin-operated (quarters only) and "pay and display" varieties (which accept credit cards) run 8 AM-6 PM on Saturday, and most in Harvard Square are limited to 2 hours. For off-street parking, see this map; bring receipts to Kiran for parking reimbursement.
Public transit is an excellent alternative to driving; CMI is a 5-minute walk from the Harvard Square T station. For complete directions, see the CMI Visitors Page. (Harvard is on the Red Line; a nearby station with plenty of parking is Alewife.)
- We strongly encourage you to bring your laptop to try things out! Wifi will be available.
Registration and light refreshments start at 9:00 AM. Lunch is on your own, but we will probably go in groups to continue the discussion.
