Book Description

As the open-source and free competitor to expensive software like Maple™, Mathematica®, Magma, and MATLAB(R), Sage offers anyone with access to a web browser the ability to use cutting-edge mathematical software and display his or her results for others, often with stunning graphics.

This book is a gentle introduction to SageMath for undergraduate students toward the end of Calculus II (single-variable integral calculus) or higher-level course work such as Multivariate Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, or Math Modeling.

The book assumes no background in computer science, but the reader who finishes the book will have learned about half of a first semester Computer Science I course, including large parts of the Python programming language.

The audience of the book is not only math majors, but also physics, engineering, finance, statistics, chemistry, and computer science majors.

It provides a valuable service by carefully explaining everything an undergraduate student of mathematics, or a teacher of these topics, needs to get started with Sage quickly and easily.

• Sage Tutorial (William Stein)

  This tutorial is the best way to become familiar with SageMath in only a few hours. It explains how to use the free and open source mathematical software package Sage. Both binaries and source code are available for SageMath from the download page.

• Number Theory: In Context and Interactive, using SageMath

  This is a textbook for an upper-level number theory course, with a clear vision to expose students to the connections to all areas of mathematics, and nearly every concept can be visualized or experimented with using the mathematics software SageMath.

• Elementary Number Theory using SageMath (William Stein)

  This is a book about prime numbers, congruences, secret messages, and elliptic curves that you can read cover to cover. Many numerical examples are given throughout the book using the SageMath mathematical software.

• Explorations in Algebraic Graph Theory with SageMath

  This book aims to express properties of graphs in algebraic terms, then to deduce theorems about them. It tackles the applications of linear algebra and matrix theory to the study of graphs; algebraic constructions such as adjacency matrix, using the SageMath.

• Algorithmic Graph Theory using SageMath (David Joyner, et al)

  This is an introductory book on algorithmic graph theory. Theory and algorithms are illustrated using the Sage open source mathematics software. It's especially suitable for computer scientists and mathematicians interested in computational complexity.
