This week's meeting will feature a talk by Professor Dolgushev giving an introduction to SageMath. And, of course, there will be free pizza!
Abstract: Sage (or SageMath) is free, open-source math software that supports research and teaching in algebra, geometry, number theory, cryptography and numerical computation. Although the syntax of Sage is similar to that of Python, it runs much faster than Python with its libraries (e.g. SymPy). In my talk, I will show how SageMath can be used in number theory and group theory. I will encourage participants of the Math Club to experiment with writing a simple Sage code (if some participants will come with laptops and their laptops can be connected to the internet).
