Sage Days (Algorithms in Number Theory and FLINT)

Scientific Organisers: John Cremona, William Hart, Marco Streng, Fredrik Johansson. Administrative Organisers: Hazel Higgens, Annette Anderson

What

A Sage Days workshop around the theme of Algorithms in Number Theory and FLINT.

Sage is an Open Source distribution of mathematical software. See http://www.sagemath.org/

FLINT (Fast Library for Number Theory) is a fast Open Source C library for support of computations in Number Theory which is a component of Sage. See http://www.flintlib.org/

See below for further details on the aims of this Sage Days. Please feel free to add additional project suggestions.

Where

Warwick University in the UK (http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/general/institute/)

When

17 - 23rd December 2011 (the formal program will finish on 21st, but participants can remain until 23rd to collaborate and code). The lecture room will be available from 9am until 10pm daily.

Program

  • Two invited talks per day (including intro to Sage talks)
  • A single evening public lecture
  • Coding sprints.

Invited Speakers

TBA.

Registration and financial support

Registration is now open for this event.

A limited amount of financial support is available for overseas and UK participants. Please let us know if you require support by indicating this on the registration page.
