Sage
Sage is a free open-source math software system.
In Math 1310, we'll be using Sage for computational problems
that would be inefficient and/or near-impossible to solve by hand.
We'll also use Sage for graphing functions and plotting data
from real-world situations.
For this course, you will be required to bring to class, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a device -- laptop or tablet -- with wi-fi and a web browser. You will be using this device to create and run Sage code in your tutorials.
Using Sage
You have several options for running Sage code:
- You may log onto the CU
Sage server at sage.colorado.edu (recommended option).
You should be able to sign in with only your CU Identikey and password.
- You can create your own account on the Sagemath Cloud, a free service run by the University of
Washington, at cloud.sagemath.org (trickier).
- You can install Sage on your own computer by following the installation guide (trickiest).
Sage Worksheets
Below are links to .sws files ("worksheets") that you can
download and then upload to run on the Sage server.
