TITLE: Visualizing Number Theory with SAGE
 
ABSTRACT:  During the past month I implemented an
improved interface for doing 2-dimensional graphics
in SAGE.  In this talk I will give a short
discussion on how the interface was implemented, introduce
the basic functions, show how they can be used to
visualize mathematical objects and give some
specific examples involving number-theoretic objects.

TITLE:   Building and packaging SAGE into a mainstream
       GNU/Linux distribution.
 
ABSTRACT: SAGE currently runs as a monolithic self-contained
distribution, and there are no binary install packages for most
mainstream Unix flavors. I will discuss the difficulties that arise when
SAGE is installed into an existing mainstream GNU/Linux install and how
I plan to overcome them. I will go over the basic steps required to
build SAGE into an existing Python install. I will relate my experiences
creating a SAGE package for Ubuntu GNU/Linux, and discuss the
possibility of translating these efforts to other Unix-like
distributions.
