SageMath presentation afternoon (Wednesday July 24th) [3]

The SageMath history is recent in the world of computer algebra and was initiated by W. Stein around 2005 with the goal of computing modular forms for congruence subgroups of SL(2,Z). Since then, many people joined the project and gave birth to a fairly general software for mathematical computations. The aim of this talk is to discuss the history, the goals and the structure of SageMath and briefly demonstrate its possibilities.
