Software Tools for Mathematics

General information

The workshop is aimed at students and researchers who want to improve the computing skills they need for their studies and research.

We will start by two days of Software Carpentry training, covering the Unix shell, version control with Git, and programming with Python), delivered by Software Carpentry instructors.
The GAP mini-course on Wednesday will be led by Alexander Konovalov.
The remaining two days will be dedicated to other math-oriented research tools, such as SageMath and CoCalc (Samuel Lelièvre), LaTeX topics for the working mathematician (Nino Bašić) and contributed talks.

We value the diversity of the mathematics software ecosystem, and promote connections among the established solutions and related communities.

Schedule

On Sunday evening (September 23^rd) there will be an unofficial software install party for early comers. We will gather in the Museum Cafe (next to FAMNIT) at 20:00.

Opening remarks will be on Monday, September 24th at 9:15. Lectures start at 9:30.

We'll take a workshop photo on Wednesday at 13:00, after the morning lectures.
