Conference: Sage Days Duluth

Sage Days Duluth研讨会将于2022年6月6日至9日在明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校举行。本次研讨会将汇集不同的数学家群体，专注于增加基本低维拓扑软件的功能，并培训该软件开发的新用户。研讨会将遵循最近在Sage Days会议上使用的格式，这在教育和软件开发方面都非常有效。参与者将了解SageMath中当前最先进的三流形计算技术，之后大部分时间将以小组形式进行开发和培训。为了补充这一点，研讨会还将讨论软件开发、使用和最佳实践，以及关于当前研究的简短讨论。来自各行各业的数学家，包括早期职业研究人员和来自文科和区域机构的研究人员将被邀请参加研讨会。在介绍软件的介绍性会议之后，研讨会将以SageMath和SnapPy开发的小组工作为中心。研讨会的一个关键目标是将原始snap程序中的功能恢复为可验证的精确计算。研讨会还将致力于为SnapPy添加使用轨道进行计算的能力，并在SnapPy中实现更好的方法来识别非双曲流形。SageMath和SnapPy中增加的功能将成为世界各地从事低维拓扑研究的数学家的宝贵研究工具，也是大学生研究项目的优秀工具。有关研讨会的信息可在网页https://sites.google.com/d.umn.edu/sagedaysduluth/home.This上查看。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

Sage Days Duluth workshop will be held at the University of Minnesota Duluth, June 6-9, 2022. This workshop will bring together a diverse group of mathematicians to focus on increasing the functionality of essential low-dimensional topology software, and also on training new users in development of this software. The workshop will follow a format used in recent Sage Days conferences, which is very effective in terms of both education and software development. The participants will be brought up to speed on the current state-of-the-art for three-manifold computations in SageMath, after which much of the time will be spent in small groups, working on development and training. To supplement this, the workshop will also feature talks about software development, usage, and best practices, as well as lightning talks about current research. Participants from from a wide range of mathematicians, including early career researchers and researchers from liberal arts and regional institutions will be invited to attend the workshop.After introductory sessions introducing the software, the workshop will center upon group work in SageMath and SnapPy development. A key goal of the workshop will be to restore functionality found in the original snap program as verifiable exact computations. The workshop will also aim to add the ability for SnapPy to perform computations with orbifolds, and implement better methods in SnapPy for identification of non-hyperbolic manifolds. The increased functionality in SageMath and SnapPy will be a valuable research tool for mathematicians around the world doing research in low-dimensional topology and is also an excellent tool for undergraduate research projects.
