Welcome to the Sage Thematic Tutorials!

Here you will find Sage demonstrations, quick reference cards, primers, and thematic tutorials,

• A quickref (or quick reference card) is a one page document with the essential examples, and pointers to the main entry points.
• A primer is a document meant for a user to get started by himself on a theme in a matter of minutes.
• A tutorial is more in-depth and could take as much as an hour or more to get through.
