Sage Education Day 1
The first Sage Education Day is being held with the generous cooperation of the organizers of Sage Days 18.
Topics
- Intro to using Sage for math in the classroom
- Using Sage with calculus (tentative topic)
- Sage implementation in the classroom - logistics and more
Intro to the Lurch math proof software project
- Roundtable discussions on general math software, and on math and word processing - for both, what works and what doesn't
Logistics
- Date and Location: December 5, 2009 at the Clay Mathematics Institute (Cambridge, MA), from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, with a lunch break from 12:30-1:30.
Driving Directions can be found at the Official Clay Mathematics Institute Visitors Page. Parking meters run on Saturday, and most in Harvard Square are for 2 hours. For off-street parking, see this map. (Bring receipts to Kiran for reimbursement.)
