Global Virtual SageDays 109

an event for the SageMath user and developer community on the occasion of the release of SageMath 9.1

held on Thursday, May 28, 2020 (when it is that date in some timezone in the world)

a 50-hour fully virtual event. Schedule, videos, and materials at researchseminars.org

SageDays are gatherings of people interested in SageMath, from newcomers to contributors. Sage Days have been organized as local, regional, or international in-person meetings by a wide range of people around the globe. Because of the current global health crisis, we organize SageDays 109 as the first fully virtual event in the series.

About SageMath

Sage is a mature, comprehensive, free (open-source) mathematics software system based on Python, licensed under the GNU General Public License, that integrates computer algebra facilities and general computational packages.

Sage, first released in 2005, in over a decade of incubation in the SageMath distribution, comprising 293 software packages, has grown its own library of 1000 Cython and over 4400 Python modules, ranging from sage.algebras.* over sage.geometry.* to sage.tensor.*, with a total of over 2.2 million lines of code.

SageMath 9.0, released in January 2020, completed the transition of the Sage library to Python 3.
