There are three ways to access SageMath in this course.
- SageMath is installed on each computer in the lab. It can be accessed by double-clicking on the application SageMath 9.2 Notebook. This is the easiest way to access SageMath; however, you will only be able to use this method while in the computer lab. To access SageMath outside the computer lab, you will need to use method 2 or method 3 below.
- SageMath is also available via the cloud by using Binder, a cloud-based Jupyter Notebook environment. To use Binder, simply click the Binder Link in the lab schedule. This method requires no installation on your computer; however, any changes you make to the files will not be saved. In order to save your work for future use, you must download the file with your changes as a Python Notebook file (.ipynb).
- SageMath is open source and free to download. The code and installation instructions are hosted on Github. Please note that if you choose to install Sage on your personal computer, you TA may not be able to help you with any problems you face.
For troubleshooting and more information, visit the Sage homepage or the Sage installation guide. If you have any questions, contact your TA or email calculuslab@math.sc.edu.
