            OVER VIEW  
            
            Sage Days will be a 5-day intensive workshop to develop and implement 
              algorithms for research in algebraic combinatorics and the representation 
              theory of finite dimensional algebras. All software developed during 
              the workshop will be made freely available, together with the source 
              code, as part of the free and open-source mathematics software system 
              Sage (http://www.sagemath.org). 
              Any sufficiently novel algorithms developed during the workshop 
              will be submitted for publication.  
            FORMAT
            The workshop will consist of mathematical presentations, presentations 
              on Sage and coding sprints. The mathematical presentations will 
              include talks introducing the relevant mathematics for the entire 
              audience and more advanced talks for interested participants. The 
              Sage presentations will begin with introductory tutorials and progress 
              to more advanced topics, including software development in Sage. 
              There will be ample time allotted for design discussions and coding 
              sprints to implement the developed algorithms.  
            Who should attend
            
            The nature of the workshop will make it accessible to researchers 
            at all levels, even those without any experience with Sage. In fact, 
            one of the aims of the workshop is to recruit the expertise of people 
            not currently involved in Sage development, as well as undergraduate 
            students that will be embarking on summer research projects in 2010. 
             The aim of these projects is to build upon Sages strong foundation 
              of combinatorial algorithms. Some require advanced programming or 
              mathematical knowledge, while some can be undertaken by young researchers 
              with little programming experience. 
              Topics may include: 
             
             
               Crystals and reflection groups algorithms.  
                 Combinatorial Hopf algebras.  
                 Representation-theoretic invariants 
                 Representations of quivers.  
                 Cluster algebras.  
                 Noncommutative Gröbner Bases
