Sage Days 74: Differential geometry and topology

Sage Days 74 will take place on May 30 - June 2, 2016 at the Workshop Center (CIAS) of Observatoire de Paris, France.

Registration

Registration is free and now open. Contact Eric (eric.gourgoulhon@obspm.fr) and Travis (tscrimsh@umn.edu) to register.

Schedule

TBA

Projects

Here is a list of possible projects. Feel free to add your own to the list.

• SageManifolds inclusion into Sage.

• Lie algebras #14901 and implement their relationship with manifolds.

• CW/Cube complexes by generalizing the manifold classes.
• Computation of geodesics on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.

• Include the sage.geometry.riemannian_manifolds (i.e. parametrized surfaces) into the more general framework of SageManifolds.

• Experiment plotting possibilities with OpenGL (nice stuff from SnapPy!) and more... what could be supported by a browser?
