CMSM Lecture2 Handouts

This document discusses using SageMath for computational mathematics. It covers: 1. Using Python as an advanced calculator by importing common math functions from the math module like sqrt, sin, gcd. 2. Calculating permutations and combinations using functions from math like perm and comb. 3. Solving quadratic equations by computing the quadratic formula and taking the square root of complex numbers using cmath. 4. Practice exercises including calculating the surface area and volume of a sphere, verifying properties of combinations, and exploring properties of complex numbers.
