Sage background reading

I highly recommend that you read

• http://sagemath.org/doc/tutorial/index.html

straight through before Sage Days 22. This should take about 3 hours, and is well worth it. You can try out the code in there online here: http://tutorial.sagenb.org

If you don't know Python, you should read the book "Dive Into Python":
