Title: | Introduction to SageMath: a free mathematics software system. |
Abstract: | The SageMath project started in 2004
to create a viable free open source
alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab. Since then, a
community of hundreds of contributors has built Sage, a tool to perform
computations ranging from undergraduate calculus to all kinds of
research level mathematics.
This talk is an introduction to Sage. We will start by exploring its
Python-powered interface in a tour of its main features. We will then
use the CoCalc
to run Sage in a web browser; since no local
installation is required, this can be a great tool for research (or
homework) collaboration or just to jointly work on LaTeX documents.
After a quick discussion of ways to integrate Sage with other computer
algebra systems, we will finally look at some internals of Sage to see
how you could start contributing to Sage. |
