Dear colleagues, (Apologies if this is not the right place to post this, it seemed to me the most adequate of the different SageMath-related groups I have access to).
This is the first announcement of the workshop *"Tools for Discrete Computational Mathematics" on 21st to 23rd January 2020 at the University of Essex* (Colchester Campus). The workshop is organised by CCP-CoDiMa (the Collaborative Computational Project in the area of Computational Discrete Mathematics, supported by EPSRC) in collaboration with the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Essex. You can find more information here: https://ccp-codima.github.io/2020-01-21-colchester-workshop/ *The workshop is free but registration is essential*. Support for travel, accommodation and subsistence may be available for UK-based researchers working in computational algebra (express your needs at registration), with preference given to PhD students and early career researchers. The aim of this workshop is to give an overview of modern techniques for computational research using *GAP *and *SageMath*. We plan to give introductions to both systems, and combine lectures with practical sessions to give participants an overview and an opportunity to practice a number of techniques: 1. use Git and GitHub to publish code and collaborate with others 2. run tests to check that their code works correctly 3. automate tasks with UNIX shell scripts 4. run distributed computations with GAP and SageMath 5. publish reproducible experiments using Jupyter notebooks running on Binder. For the practical sessions, you are encouraged to bring your own code from experiments that you have run with GAP or SageMath in the past, or have a particular problem that you would like to tackle with their help. Please bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) on which you have administrative privileges. A working installation of GAP and SageMath is desirable.
