from 10 to 15 October, Sage Days 10 (SD10 for short) will take place at LORIA (Nancy, France). It will consist of three scientific days:
* October 10: Linear Algebra (chair Clément Pernet) Invited Speakers: Arne
Storjohann (Waterloo, Canada) Jean-Guillaume Dumas (Grenoble, France) * October 11: Elliptic Curves (chair Laurent Fousse) Invited Speakers: John Cremona (Warwick, United Kingdom) David Lubicz (Rennes, France) * October 12: Groebner
Bases (chair Ludovic Perret) Invited Speakers: Carlo Traverso (Pisa, Italy) Éric Schost (London, Ontario, Canada)
followed by three "Coding Sprints" days, which consist of discussions about the code (bug fixes, improvements, new code). The Coding Sprints will also include a session about *-Combinat,
its history, purpose, design, and future directions.
Sage is a new mathematics software tool, which is open-source (GPL), combines several software tools like GMP, Maxima, R, NTL, PARI/GP, and attempts to be an alternative to Maple, Mathematica and Magma (which become more and more expensive, especially for teaching, and are not all open to external contributions).
After SD6 in Bristol in November 2007, this will be the 2nd Sage Days edition in Europe: a unique
opportunity to discuss and meet Sage developers in person, to see which computations Sage can perform, but also a real scientific event, and last but not least an opportunity to contribute to Sage during the "Coding Sprints".
Registration is now open for SD10, and will be closed after ***October 3rd***.
