[sage-combinat-devel] modular representation theory in sage

Hi! Peter Tingley asked me the following question: In a completely unrelated question, do you know how well modular representation theory of S_n is implemented in sage? There is a project afoot here to get high school students to work with researchers, which it seems will mostly consist of

I think the reason mathematica programming doesn't return many results is because it is not usually perceived as a programming language per se, rather a mathematics software. Because of this, I think Mathematica (and MATLAB, or any specific-use programming languages) statistics are bound to be

MATLAB isn't a tool used outside of academia very often. Its licensing makes it hard to redistribute code (like to a third party), or even run it on a couple different workstations in a HPC sense. Its a great tool for quick and dirty analyses, but overall its a terribly crafted language for

Simon, Thank-you very much for the heads-up. I'll have a look. I have also rediscovered Sage's Field of Algebraic Integers, which is scratching some of my itch. As it has roots of polynomial equations over the rationals (and thus square roots), I can teach some of the more numerical topics
