AI Thread Summary
Learning Sage as an alternative to MATLAB is a viable option, especially for those with limited programming experience. The Sage website offers extensive resources, including videos, sample code, and documentation, which are beneficial for beginners. Additionally, platforms like Udacity provide valuable video tutorials on Python. For those looking to deepen their understanding of Python, "Dive into Python" by Mark Pilgrim is recommended as a free online resource. Overall, with some foundational knowledge in programming, it is feasible to learn Python and Sage effectively.

Hey everyone I am looking to learn the Sage software as an alternative to MATLAB. I would like to leaern Python as well. I have a bit of a limited programming experience (A in a Programming Principles course last semester which used Java). So I know loops, stacks, methods, class variables, data fields, strings, static vs non static, and some other basics but that is about it. Anybody know of a good resource for learning Python (focused on Sage), or is it too advanced for someone who has only had a semester of CS?

The Sage website has some great resources: videos, tons of sample code, documentation..check this to start: http://www.sagemath.org/tour.html

In addition, "udacity.com" has some great videos on Python.

There are tons of Python resources out there. Since you have some experience programming, "Dive into Python" by Pilgrim might be a decent choice. It is freely available on the web.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
