What is 'Sage Days'?

+Sage Days is a confluence of present and prospective SAGE Users and Developers. +It is an opportunity to come together to share ideas, brainstorm and hack on Sage. + +Sage Days 25 is the 25th version of Sage Days, and is being organized in Mumbai, India. +In order to cater to an Indian audience and scenario, this version has been tweaked +slightly. Sage Days 25 has beginner level tutorials, in addition to the usual talks and sprints, +to help new users get started with Sage and help promote the use of Sage in India. +
+
+

What is Sage?

+Sage is a free, open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. +It combines the power of numerous existing open-source packages into a common +Python-based interface. It's mission is to create a "viable free open source alternative to +Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab". + +Sage has tools for a broad range of mathematical areas like Linear Algebra, Calculus, +Symbolic Math, Plotting, Rings & Groups, Graph Theory, Number Theory and Cryptography. +Essentially, "it can do anything from mapping a 12-dimensional object to calculating rainfall +patterns under global warming" - as Science Daily puts it . Eager to get started? Start here. +Apart from being feature rich, it's usability is one of it's greatest strengths. Sage Notebook, +a web-interface for all the math you'll ever want to do, is really the killer feature! As the Sage +Marketing page says, "The SAGE GUI surely works on your computer box, because it just runs +in Firefox!". Try it Now! +
+
+

Why should you attend?

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