The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, September 9. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
Sage
Sage is a free open-source program that allows (in the style of
Mathematica or Maple) various types of symbolic manipulation.
As described on the web page, Sage is built out of nearly 100
open-source packages and features a unified interface. It can
be used to study elementary and advanced, pure and applied
mathematics. This includes a huge range of mathematics,
including basic algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced
number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative
algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, exact
linear algebra and much more. It combines various software
packages and seamlessly integrates their functionality into a
common experience. It is well-suited for education and
research.
The user interface is a notebook in a web browser or the
command line. Using the notebook, Sage connects either locally
to your own Sage installation or to a Sage server on the
network. Inside the Sage notebook you can create embedded
graphics, beautifully typeset mathematical expressions, add and
delete input, and share your work across the network.
Michael Doob will be our presenter.
Before the break, as this month's RTFM topic, Rob Keizer will
talk about the tmux(1) command.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.
