    Viviane Pons Ma^ıtrede conf´erence,Universit´eParis-Sud Orsay [email protected] { @PyViv SageMath and SageMathCloud Introduction SageMath SageMath is a free open source mathematics software I Created in 2005 by William Stein. I http://www.sagemath.org/ I Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab. Viviane Pons (U-PSud) SageMath and SageMathCloud October 19, 2016 2 / 7 SageMath Source and language I the main language of Sage is python (but there are many other source languages: cython, C, C++, fortran) I the source is distributed under the GPL licence. Viviane Pons (U-PSud) SageMath and SageMathCloud October 19, 2016 3 / 7 SageMath Sage and libraries One of the original purpose of Sage was to put together the many existent open source mathematics software programs: Atlas, GAP, GMP, Linbox, Maxima, MPFR, PARI/GP, NetworkX, NTL, Numpy/Scipy, Singular, Symmetrica,... Sage is all-inclusive: it installs all those libraries and gives you a common python-based interface to work on them. On top of it is the python / cython Sage library it-self. Viviane Pons (U-PSud) SageMath and SageMathCloud October 19, 2016 4 / 7 SageMath Sage and libraries I You can use a library explicitly: sage: n = gap(20062006) sage: type(n) <c l a s s 'sage. interfaces .gap.GapElement'> sage: n.Factors() [ 2, 17, 59, 73, 137 ] I But also, many of Sage computation are done through those libraries without necessarily telling you: sage: G = PermutationGroup([[(1,2,3),(4,5)],[(3,4)]]) sage : G . g a p () Group( [ (3,4), (1,2,3)(4,5) ] ) Viviane Pons (U-PSud) SageMath and SageMathCloud October 19, 2016 5 / 7 SageMath Development model Development model I Sage is developed by researchers for researchers: the original philosophy is to develop what you need for your research and share it with the community.

  • A Fast Dynamic Language for Technical Computing
    Julia A Fast Dynamic Language for Technical Computing Created by: Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, Viral B. Shah & Alan Edelman A Fractured Community Technical work gets done in many different languages ‣ C, C++, R, Matlab, Python, Java, Perl, Fortran, ... Different optimal choices for different tasks ‣ statistics ➞ R ‣ linear algebra ➞ Matlab ‣ string processing ➞ Perl ‣ general programming ➞ Python, Java ‣ performance, control ➞ C, C++, Fortran Larger projects commonly use a mixture of 2, 3, 4, ... One Language We are not trying to replace any of these ‣ C, C++, R, Matlab, Python, Java, Perl, Fortran, ... What we are trying to do: ‣ allow developing complete technical projects in a single language without sacrificing productivity or performance This does not mean not using components in other languages! ‣ Julia uses C, C++ and Fortran libraries extensively “Because We Are Greedy.” “We want a language that’s open source, with a liberal license. We want the speed of C with the dynamism of Ruby. We want a language that’s homoiconic, with true macros like Lisp, but with obvious, familiar mathematical notation like Matlab. We want something as usable for general programming as Python, as easy for statistics as R, as natural for string processing as Perl, as powerful for linear algebra as Matlab, as good at gluing programs together as the shell. Something that is dirt simple to learn, yet keeps the most serious hackers happy.” Collapsing Dichotomies Many of these are just a matter of design and focus ‣ stats vs. linear algebra vs. strings vs.

  • How to Access Python for Doing Scientific Computing
    How to access Python for doing scientific computing1 Hans Petter Langtangen1,2 1Center for Biomedical Computing, Simula Research Laboratory 2Department of Informatics, University of Oslo Mar 23, 2015 A comprehensive eco system for scientific computing with Python used to be quite a challenge to install on a computer, especially for newcomers. This problem is more or less solved today. There are several options for getting easy access to Python and the most important packages for scientific computations, so the biggest issue for a newcomer is to make a proper choice. An overview of the possibilities together with my own recommendations appears next.

It can view astronomical data such as contained in files based on the FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file format. It is written and is maintained by software engineers at the Subaru Telescope, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. The Ginga toolkit centers around an image display class which supports zooming and panning, color and intensity mapping, a choice of several automatic cut levels algorithms and canvases for plotting scalable geometric forms. In addition to this widget, a general purpose “reference” FITS viewer is provided, based on a plugin framework. A fairly complete set of “standard” plugins are provided for features that we expect from a modern FITS viewer: panning and zooming windows, star catalog access, cuts, star pick/fwhm, thumbnails, etc. 1 Ginga Documentation, Release 2.5.20160420043855 2 Chapter 1.

  • How Maple Compares to Mathematica
    How Maple™ Compares to Mathematica® A Cybernet Group Company How Maple™ Compares to Mathematica® Choosing between Maple™ and Mathematica® ? On the surface, they appear to be very similar products. However, in the pages that follow you’ll see numerous technical comparisons that show that Maple is much easier to use, has superior symbolic technology, and gives you better performance. These product differences are very important, but perhaps just as important are the differences between companies. At Maplesoft™, we believe that given great tools, people can do great things. We see it as our job to give you the best tools possible, by maintaining relationships with the research community, hiring talented people, leveraging the best available technology even if we didn’t write it ourselves, and listening to our customers. Here are some key differences to keep in mind: • Maplesoft has a philosophy of openness and community which permeates everything we do. Unlike Mathematica, Maple’s mathematical engine has always been developed by both talented company employees and by experts in research labs around the world. This collaborative approach allows Maplesoft to offer cutting-edge mathematical algorithms solidly integrated into the most natural user interface available. This openness is also apparent in many other ways, such as an eagerness to form partnerships with other organizations, an adherence to international standards, connectivity to other software tools, and the visibility of the vast majority of Maple’s source code. • Maplesoft offers a solution for all your academic needs, including advanced tools for mathematics, engineering modeling, distance learning, and testing and assessment. By contrast, Wolfram Research has nothing to offer for automated testing and assessment, an area of vital importance to academic life.
