The complete index to the SageMathCloud Help/FAQ/Wiki System

There's a lot of information here!

There are more than 50 links on this page. Many users might find it easier to simply search the entire system. Also, some users might prefer Talks and Videos about SageMathCloud.

General Help/FAQ

• The FAQ/Help Portal - This is the main portal for FAQ/Help pages. From it, you can reach these pages:

  • Troubleshooting Connectivity issues in SageMathCloud
  • SageMathCloud Worksheet (and User Interface) Help
  • SageMathCloud Mathematical Syntax Help
  • All about Projects!
  • Programming Software (C, R, Fortran, Java, Octave, etc...) from SageMathCloud
  • Utilizing External Tools from SageMathCloud
  • Creating Custom "Mode Commands" in Sage Worksheets
  • Bash Fortunes in SageMathCloud's Terminal

  • Help! The SageMathCloud Website isn't Working Well (Debugging connectivity issues in SageMathCloud)

• Some users might prefer Talks and Videos about SageMathCloud

• Users sometimes want to know how to Install Sage on your personal computer

• Mike Croucher has posted an excellent tutorial about SageMathCloud's course management system.

• Need help in a language other than English? You can go to http://doc.sagemath.org/ where there are links to many documents in HTML and PDF formats, written in ten (!) different languages (eleven if you count English). These documents mostly focus on SageMath, the mathematical engine behind Sage worksheets.

Resources for Sage Math

These documents mostly focus on SageMath, the mathematical engine behind Sage worksheets.

• Need help in a language other than English? You can go to http://doc.sagemath.org/ where there are links to many documents in HTML and PDF formats, written in ten (!) different languages (eleven if you count English). Also, the SageMath help pages include several languages other than English.

• The web-based SageMath Tutorial is great way to learn Sage. Some parts of it require upper-level undergraduate mathematics or computer science courses, but large parts of it should be understandable by a much broader audience. (It is available in several languages here.)

• There are two large collections of handy tutorials for SageMath that deal with undergraduate math courses (click here) as well as mathematical research areas or advanced math courses (click here). Another companion tutorial providing an introduction to programming with Sage and Python on the SMC is found in the Spring 2017 Math 399 online course material at the University of Washington.

• The enormous technical SageMath Reference Manual is also on the web. Hint: the best way to use this document is with the "Quick Search" window in the lower-left hand corner.

• The "The SageMath Constructions Document" collects answers to some questions along the lines of "How do I construct ... in Sage?"

• A very short Tour of SageMath exists, and is a brief introduction to what SageMath can do, for someone who perhaps isn't familiar at all with Computer Algebra Systems.

• SageMath maintains its own large FAQ and help system.
