Description
Summary:Sage is a free, open source mathematical software system written in Python with impressive capabilities. Python has the advantage that it's a modern, object-oriented language. SAGE Project introduced the software for algebra and geometry software system to considerable fanfare in the scientific computation field. As the name suggests, Sage is aimed at the mathematics user who wants to approach a mathematical task from a computational perspective. Sage is considered as a mathematical software system in the prototype stage of development-the point at which a small community of users distributes, maintains, and extends the system on a voluntary basis.
