| Title of Talk | SageTeX: Computing inside LaTeX documents |
| Abstract | I will talk about SageTeX, a system for embedding computer mathematical calculations or graphs inside TeX documents. The user simply puts a few simple commands in the TeX document and a computation is performed automatically and the output or graph appears in the PDF file. The system uses the powerful free open-source Sage computer algebra system (http://www.sagemath.org), but can also embed results and graphs from Mathematica, Maple, and a variety of other software. The author has used this in writing quizzes, tests, solution guides, papers, etc. Others have used SageTeX to generate interactive books and online worksheets. |
