David Hyde and Alex Pothen introduce the Special Issue on Quantum Computing and survey some exciting technical developments.
Quantum algorithms can be understood through linear algebra and offer different tradeoffs than classical algorithms.
The fusion of machine learning and quantum computing has created an unprecedented avenue for innovation.
Quantum computing promises enormous computing power at low costs, marking a new chapter for financial mathematics.
It is quite difficult to fully harness the potential of quantum computers and outperform classical computers.
The High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling tasked students with two open-ended, real-world problems.
The Hackathon encouraged participants to tackle questions about worldwide energy data availability and solar resource potential.
Mark Levi draws connections between the conformal equivalence and electrical resistance of annular regions.

Contents Preface Index
"This fantastic and deep book about how to use Sage for learning and doing mathematics at all levels perfectly complements the existing Sage documentation. It is filled with many carefully thought through examples and exercises, and great care has been taken to put computational functionality into proper mathematical context. Flip to almost any random page in this amazing book, and you will learn how to play with and visualize some beautiful part of mathematics." --- William A. Stein, CEO, SageMath, and professor of mathematics, University of Washington
SageMath, or Sage for short, is an open-source mathematical software system based on the Python language and developed by an international community comprising hundreds of teachers and researchers, whose aim is to provide an alternative to the commercial products Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB®. To achieve this, Sage relies on many open-source programs, including GAP, Maxima, PARI, and various scientific libraries for Python, to which thousands of new functions have been added. Sage is freely available and is supported by all modern operating systems.
Sage provides a wonderful scientific and graphical calculator for high school students, and it efficiently supports undergraduates in their computations in analysis, linear algebra, calculus, etc. For graduate students, researchers, and engineers in various mathematical specialties, Sage provides the most recent algorithms and tools, which is why several universities around the world already use Sage at the undergraduate level.
Computational Mathematics with SageMath, written by researchers and by teachers at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, focuses on the underlying mathematics necessary to use Sage efficiently and is illustrated with concrete examples. Part I is accessible to high school and undergraduate students and Parts II, III, and IV are suitable for graduate students, teachers, and researchers.
