{{{ show the welcome slide }}}

Hello Friends. Welcome to this tutorial on using Sage.

{{{ show the slide with outline }}} 

In this tutorial we shall quickly look at a few examples of the areas

(name the areas, here) in which Sage can be used and how it can be

used.

{{{ show the slide with Calculus outline }}} 

Let us begin with Calculus. We shall be looking at limits,

differentiation, integration, and Taylor polynomial.

{{{ show sage notebook }}}

We have our Sage notebook running. In case, you don't have it running,

start is using the command, ``sage --notebook``.

To find the limit of the function x*sin(1/x), at x=0, we say

::

   lim(x*sin(1/x), x=0)

We get the limit to be 0, as expected. 

It is also possible to the limit at a point from one direction. For

example, let us find the limit of 1/x at x=0, when approaching from

the positive side.

::

    lim(1/x, x=0, dir='above')

To find the limit from the negative side, we say,

::

    lim(1/x, x=0, dir='above')   

Let us now see how to differentiate, using Sage. We shall find the

differential of the expression ``exp(sin(x^2))/x`` w.r.t ``x``. We

shall first define the expression, and then use the ``diff`` function

to obtain the differential of the expression.

::

    var('x')

    f = exp(sin(x^2))/x

    diff(f, x)

We can also obtain the partial differentiation of an expression w.r.t

one of the variables. Let us differentiate the expression

``exp(sin(y - x^2))/x`` w.r.t x and y.

::

    var('x y')

    f = exp(sin(y - x^2))/x

    diff(f, x)

    diff(f, y)

Now, let us look at integration. We shall use the expression obtained

from the differentiation that we did before, ``diff(f, y)`` ---

``e^(sin(-x^2 + y))*cos(-x^2 + y)/x``. The ``integrate`` command is

used to obtain the integral of an expression or function.

::

    integrate(e^(sin(-x^2 + y))*cos(-x^2 + y)/x, y)

We get back the correct expression. The minus sign being inside or

outside the ``sin`` function doesn't change much. 

Now, let us find the value of the integral between the limits 0 and

pi/2. 

::

    integral(e^(sin(-x^2 + y))*cos(-x^2 + y)/x, y, 0, pi/2)

Let us now see how to obtain the Taylor expansion of an expression

using sage. Let us obtain the Taylor expansion of ``(x + 1)^n`` up to

degree 4 about 0.

::

    var('x n')

    taylor((x+1)^n, x, 0, 4)

This brings us to the end of the features of Sage for Calculus, that

we will be looking at. For more, look at the Calculus quick-ref from

the Sage Wiki. 

Next let us move on to Matrix Algebra. 

{{{ show the equation on the slides }}}

Let us begin with solving the equation ``Ax = v``, where A is the

matrix ``matrix([[1,2],[3,4]])`` and v is the vector

``vector([1,2])``. 

To solve the equation, ``Ax = v`` we simply say

::

    x = solve_right(A, v)

To solve the equation, ``xA = v`` we simply say

::

    x = solve_left(A, v)

The left and right here, denote the position of ``A``, relative to x. 

#[Puneeth]: any suggestions on what more to add?

Now, let us look at Graph Theory in Sage. 

We shall look at some ways to create graphs and some of the graph

families available in Sage. 

The simplest way to define an arbitrary graph is to use a dictionary

of lists. We create a simple graph by

::

  G = Graph({0:[1,2,3], 2:[4]})

We say 

::

  G.show()

to view the visualization of the graph. 

Similarly, we can obtain a directed graph using the ``DiGraph``

function. 

::

  G = DiGraph({0:[1,2,3], 2:[4]})

Sage also provides a lot of graph families which can be viewed by

typing ``graph.<tab>``. Let us obtain a complete graph with 5 vertices

and then show the graph. 

::

  G = graphs.CompleteGraph(5)

  G.show()

Sage provides other functions for Number theory and

Combinatorics. Let's have a glimpse of a few of them.  

::

  prime_range(100, 200)

gives primes in the range 100 to 200. 

::

  is_prime(1999) 

checks if 1999 is a prime number or not. 

::

  factor(2001)

gives the factorized form of 2001. 

::

  C = Permutations([1, 2, 3, 4])

  C.list()

gives the permutations of ``[1, 2, 3, 4]``

::

  C = Combinations([1, 2, 3, 4])

  C.list()

gives all the combinations of ``[1, 2, 3, 4]``

That brings us to the end of this session showing various features

available in Sage.

Calculus, Graph Theory and Number theory.
