PLEASE ADVERTISE WHERE APPROPRIATE ************************************************************ Sage Days 20.5
Second Announcement Fields Institute, May 3--7, 2010 ************************************************************ IMPORTANT UPDATES The deadline to apply for financial support has been extended one week until 7 April 2010. The website now includes information on accommodations in the university residences. Further information regarding this event is available at: http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/09-10/sage OVERVIEW The objective of this workshop is to provide a gentle introduction to Sage (installation, features, tutorials on basic usage and development) and to develop and implement algorithms for research in algebraic combinatorics and the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras. The workshop will provide ample opportunity for both the experienced and the newcomers to work on coding projects. Topics may include: • Crystals and reflection groups algorithms • Combinatorial Hopf algebras • Representations of quivers • Cluster algebras • Noncommutative Gröbner Bases ABOUT SAGE Sage is a free open-source software for mathematical computations. Its mission is to provide a viable alternative to commercial software like Maple or Mathematica, and its community is growing fast worldwide. You will find more information about Sage on the website: http://www.sagemath.org WORKSHOP PROGRAM The workshop will feature mathematical talks, presentations on Sage and coding sprints. The mathematical presentations will introduce the relevant mathematics for the entire audience and may be supplemented with more advanced talks for interested participants. The Sage presentations will begin with introductory tutorials and progress to more advanced topics, including development in Sage. There will be ample time allotted for design discussions and coding sprints to implement developed algorithms. More information on the program, together with a list of speakers, will be made available on the website: http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/09-10/sage WHO SHOULD ATTEND You! The workshop will be accessible to researchers at all levels, even those without any experience with Sage. This also includes undergraduates that will be embarking on summer research projects. REGISTRATION There is a $50 registration fee that will include coffee breaks and meeting material. This fee may be waived as part of the financial support. The last day to register is April 25, but potential registrants are requested to register as *soon as possible*. You can register here: http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/09-10/sage/ Students and postdocs can apply for travel support through a link at the above website. The deadline for funding applications is 31 March 2010. It is strongly recommended that participants bring their own laptop, as the number of on-site computers is limited.
