SageMath¶

The sage, "System for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation", bundle can be used for algebra, combinatorics, graph theory, numerical analysis, number theory, calculus and statistics. The module makes variants with Python 3.9, with SageMath 9.7, and 3.10, with SageMath 9.8, available.

UFS HPC Usage Example¶

The default variant uses python 3.10. If this is sufficient the following command executed in the terminal will be enough to load the bundle:

1	`module load sage`

The following example loads the variant with python 3.9

module load sage python=3.9

The Spyder ide, Jupyter-notebook, and Python and IPython can be run as shown as below:

sage

The sage_shell commmand can be used to access a shell in the sage bundle.

1	`sage_shell`

Cloning the sage environment¶

If additional packages are required then the sage environment can be cloned to your home. Run the sage_shell command and run the following commands in the sage shell:

conda create --name sage++ --clone sage
conda activate sage++
conda install -q -c conda-forge pyarrow

The name sage++ can be changed to your needs and pyarrow can be adjusted to your needs. The new environment can be accessed as follows:

ERN_OVERRIDE_CONDA_ENV="sage++" ipython

Finally, creating the clone can be scripted using a HERE-DOC in Bash

sage_shell <<SCRIPT
. /ern/bin/activate
conda create --name sage++ --clone sage
conda activate sage++
conda install -q -c conda-forge pyarrow
SCRIPT

The environment can be removed as shown below:

sage_shell <<SCRIPT
. /ern/bin/activate
conda-env remove -n sage++
SCRIPT
