Software tools for mathematics --- Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico --- 2018-01-22 -- 2018-01-26

This is the webpage for a workshop on Software tools for mathematics to be held 22-26 January 2018 in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend this workshop!

there will be special focus on getting complete beginners started
we will help semi-beginners get more proficient
we will encourage advanced users to start developing
developers will be able to help other users and will find a good working environment

The aim is to

gather people from Morelia and more generally from Mexico
introduce them to general and mathematical software tools
help people to implement their own projects
gather developers to improve these systems

The workshop will include training sessions, talks, tutorials, demos, coding sprints about

general productivity tools such as
- GNU Bash
- Git
- GNU Make
general computing and collaboration tools such as
- CoCalc
- Jupyter
mathematical software such as
- Discreture
- GAP
- Macaulay2 (to be confirmed)
- PARI/GP
- SageMath
- YAGS
mathematical databases or packages under development such as
- DiscreteZOO
- surface-dynamics
- sage-flatsurf

The workshop is also numbered Sage Days 92, which lets us use this very convenient wiki. SageMath, also known as Sage, is free software for mathematics.

The focus of this workshop will be on the diversity of the mathematics software ecosystem, and on collaboration between the various systems and communities.

Dates and location

The workshop will start on Monday morning, 2018-01-22 and end on Friday evening, 2018-01-26.

We suggest participants plan to arrive on Sunday, 2018-01-21, and to leave on Saturday, 2018-01-27.

It will take place at ENES Morelia, on the Morelia campus of UNAM.

We plan two days of Software Carpentry training about GNU Bash, Git, and Python, delivered by Software Carpentry instructors.

Then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday more focus on mathematical software and databases with lots of talks, tutorials, demos, coding sprints, about the software mentioned above; slots to be made more precise nearer the event.

Wednesday afternoon will be free --- an opportunity to explore Morelia and its surroundings (Pátzcuaro, Tzintzuntzan, ...).

We plan to include a problem session on Thursday afternoon where people can submit their math problems whose solution might involve programming, for everyone to think about.
