5 Sage Days is a confluence of present and prospective SAGE Users and Developers. |
6 </p> |
6 It is an opportunity to come together to share ideas, brainstorm and hack on Sage. |

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. |

14 <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>. |
|
24 |
|
25 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> |

31 <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! |
