The Sage Help & FAQ Portal

Welcome to the Sage Help & FAQ Portal. The following pages contain answers to about 8--24 questions each. However, many users might find it easier to simply search the entire system.

• Search the entire Help/FAQ/Wiki System

• Talks and Videos about SageMathCloud

• 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

• Tips for Using more than one Account on SageMathCloud

• Sage and Jupyter

• General and Miscelleanous

• Our four key policies: Terms of Service, Privacy, Copyright, and Pricing

• Other Permissions, Legalities, Authorizations, and Related Matters

• Subscription and Pricing Information

• Why Should I purchase a subscription?

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 as well as mathematical research areas for advanced math courses.

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

• 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?"

• SageMath maintains its own large FAQ and help system.

Some other useful links:

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

• To learn more about doing math with Sage, but not necessarily in SageMathCloud only, there is Sage for Undergraduates, a book written by Gregory V. Bard and published by The American Mathematical Society in 2015. (The pdf-file of that book is available for free, and the print version has an extremely low price.)

• The homepage for the SageMathCloud wiki.
