Sage

Introduction

Sage (previously SAGE, System for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation) is a mathematical software with features covering many aspects of mathematics, including algebra, combinatorics, numerical mathematics, number theory, and calculus. Sage is sometimes called sagemath to distinguish it from other uses of the word.

The first version of Sage was released on 24 February 2005 as free and open source software under the terms of the GNU General Public License, with the initial goals of creating an "open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB". The originator and leader of the Sage project, William Stein, is a mathematician at the University of Washington.

Sage uses the Python programming language, supporting procedural, functional and object-oriented constructs.
