Online SageMath Workshop

February 15-18, 2021

Speaker : Prof. Amritanshu Prasad, IMSc. Chennai.

About SageMath : SAGE is an open source mathematical software system that helps us to perform many mathematical tasks. SAGE uses Python to bind several open source packages into one coding interface. It has been used for teaching and research in various branches of pure and applied mathematics, such as basic algebra, calculus, number theory, cryptography, numerical computations, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatory, graph theory, linear algebra etc. This workshop will help the participants to understand how to utilize the open source software in computational mathematics.
