| We plan to start Sunday morning and finish by lunchtime on Thursday (although there may be some talks of interest Thursday afternoon). As at a typical Sage Days meeting, there will be relatively few talks, some status reports, and plenty of working time. | We plan to start Sunday morning and finish by lunchtime on Thursday.

| The UCSD-GUEST wireless network is available throughout campus. This network provides Web and SSH access but not outgoing SMTP; your best bet is to use a VPN to connect to your local network. You can also use the eduroam network if your home campus supports this. There are numerous options for dining on campus, of which the most comprehensive is the Price Center food court. For coffee, the closest option is the "coffee cart" by Mandeville Hall; for greater selection, try Espresso Roma in the food court or Perks in the campus bookstore (also in the Price Center). There are also some interesting restaurants reachable on foot from the hotel in Del Mar, and many others reachable by car. |

| We'll be commuting from the hotel to the math department in a fleet of rental cars. If you're interested in volunteering as a driver, please contact David as well. A backup option is the 101 bus (the "Breeze"), which has stops close to both the hotel and the math department but is not very fast or frequent. The fare is $1.75 each way (exact change required); maps and timetables are [[http://transit.511sd.com/Services/NCTDRoute.aspx?r=101|here]]. | We'll be commuting from the hotel to the math department in a fleet of rental cars.

| Parking enforcement at UCSD is quite strict. Avoid problems by parking as follows. * On ''weekends and holidays'' (in this case Sunday and Monday = Presidents Day): you may park for free at any space except those marked as "reserved". The closest lots to APM are P206 and P207 (see campus map). * On ''weekdays'': The closest lot offering visitor parking is P208 (see campus map). Buy a permit from the pay station, park in any B (green) space, and leave the permit visible on the dashboard. After 4:30 PM, permits also become valid in the closer lots P206 or P207 but are still required. |

Sage Days 36: p-adics in Sage
February 19-23, 2012, UC San Diego
This workshop will focus on p-adic numbers and associated structures in Sage. There will be a substantial emphasis on core structures (arithmetic, p-adic fields, extension fields, polynomials and power series, linear algebra) and in particular on fixing bugs in these. Other topics may include: p-adic special functions, p-adic L-functions, p-adic Hodge theory, p-adic cohomology and zeta functions, p-adic modular forms.

Housing and Transportation
If you're receiving funding from us, please purchase your tickets as soon as possible and e-mail the receipt to David. If you'd like to fly on a non-US carrier, please check with us first (or just use a code share ticket at the same price).
We have a group rate at the Clarion Del Mar Inn. By default, everyone will check in on Saturday evening and check out on Thursday, and reservations are already made. If you'd prefer something else (arriving or departing early or late, a room upgrade from the default single with queen bed, extra rooms for family who want to enjoy San Diego...) please contact David at roed [at] math [dot] harvard [dot] edu.
