AMS Special Session on Sage and Mathematical Research Using Open Source Software

• The purpose of this session is to bring together those who develop and/or use or would like to use the mathematical software system [http://www.sagemath.org/ Sage] and related open source software in their research. The Sage session abstracts will be published in the [http://www.sigsam.org/cca/ CCA].
