Hi all, John Cremona and I have just been successful with a grant application to fund a Sage - FLINT Days at Warwick University in December this year (dates and organisers to be announced shortly). This will be organised as a Sage Days with a focus on topics relevant to fast Number Theory. This conference will be especially useful for Number Theorists and people in related areas who wish to learn how to use Sage (and FLINT) for their research (and hobbies).
There will be about two talks per day by invited speakers. The remainder will be dedicated to collaboration and coding sprints. If you need funding to attend, we can quite possibly support you, so please contact us as soon as possible. In addition to overseas participants, we particularly encourage UK participants to sign up. We requested additional funding for UK postgraduates too. Formal invitations will be sent out when we get underway with organisation. The Sage-FLINT Days will have an evening public lecture. If anyone has a suggestion of who we should invite to give this lecture, please let us know. It should be suitable for a general public audience, highly entertaining and related to computational mathematics (preferably Number Theory). Suggestions for coding sprints and other collaborations are welcome on the wiki [1]. We'll be adding some ourselves in the next few days. The conference is made possible by generous support from the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and is supplementary to my EPSRC grant "Algorithms in Algebraic Number Theory". Best Wishes, Bill Hart.
