SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on beginner tips for using SAGE, a powerful mathematics software system. The user expresses intimidation when starting with SAGE after a previous experience in a university lab. Key features highlighted include SAGE's collaboration with LaTeX and its capabilities for generating problems in linear algebra and graph theory, particularly through functions for creating random matrices with integer reduced row echelon form. Recommended resources for beginners include "Sage for Undergraduates" and "Computational Mathematics with SageMath."

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of linear algebra concepts
  • Familiarity with command line interfaces
  • Knowledge of LaTeX for document preparation
  • Introductory experience with mathematical software systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore SAGE documentation for beginners
  • Learn how to integrate LaTeX with SAGE for documentation
  • Practice generating random matrices in SAGE
  • Read "Sage for Undergraduates" for foundational concepts
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers in mathematics who are new to SAGE and looking to enhance their computational skills in linear algebra and graph theory.

OK I am in a lock down here with my Governor ordering us stay hometho

So thot I would jump off the diving board into the world of SAGE

However when I went to google for guiding light on this I got intimidated fastSo Does anyone done square one and more I would like some tips

I did some SAGE about a year ago but it was a University Lab with a lot of help
I have forgotten everything...

thanks ahead...

I do know that SAGE is collaborative with Latex so that is a big plus

I've been using Sage for generating problems in linear algebra and graph theory. It has nice functions for generating random matrices with integer reduced row echelon form. But I am only a beginner. I am working with text command line.

There are a couple of books: Sage for Undergraduates, and Computational Mathematics with SageMath. They are easy to find online.
