<h2>Sage Days 25, Mumbai, India</h2> |
31 | 4 |
<h4>What is 'Sage Days'?</h4> |
5 |
Sage Days is a confluence of present and prospective SAGE Users and Developers. |
|
6 |
It is an opportunity to come together to share ideas, brainstorm and hack on Sage. |
|
7 |
||
8 |
Sage Days 25 is the 25th version of Sage Days, and is being organized in Mumbai, India. |
|
9 |
In order to cater to an Indian audience and scenario, this version has been tweaked |
|
10 |
slightly. Sage Days 25 has beginner level tutorials, in addition to the usual talks and sprints, |
|
11 |
to help new users get started with Sage and help promote the use of Sage in India. |

<h4>What is Sage?</h4> |
|
15 |
Sage is a free, open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. |
|
16 |
It combines the power of numerous existing open-source packages into a common |
|
17 |
Python-based interface. It's mission is to create a "viable free open source alternative to |
|
18 |
Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab". |
|
19 |
||
20 |
Sage has tools for a broad range of mathematical areas like Linear Algebra, Calculus, |
|
21 |
Symbolic Math, Plotting, Rings & Groups, Graph Theory, Number Theory and Cryptography. |
|
22 |
Essentially, "it can do anything from mapping a 12-dimensional object to calculating rainfall |
|
23 |
patterns under global warming" - as Science Daily puts it . Eager to get started? Start <a href="http://www.sagemath.org/tour.html">here</a>. |

Apart from being feature rich, it's usability is one of it's greatest strengths. Sage Notebook, |
26 |
a web-interface for all the math you'll ever want to do, is really the killer feature! As the Sage |
|
27 |
Marketing page says, "The SAGE GUI surely works on your computer box, because it just runs |
|
28 |
in Firefox!". <a href="http://www.sagenb.org/">Try it Now!</a> |

<h4>Why should you attend?</h4> |
|
32 |
Sage Days 25 is being attended by the creator and lead developer of Sage, Prof. William Stein. |
|
33 |
It will also be attended by other developers of Sage. This would be a great opportunity to meet |
|
34 |
and interact with them! |
|
35 |
||
36 |
The conference will be attended by a plethora of enthusiastic people from all over the country |
|
37 |
who use Sage or are interested in doing so. The conference will also see the presence of many |
|
38 |
mathematicians interested in software. Who knows, you may run into someone you'd want to |
|
39 |
collaborate with, for your future work! |
|
40 |
||
41 |
This event will be a great learning experience, if you are even remotely interested in math and software for it! |
