Get Wise About Math Concepts With Sage

,----[ Quote ]
| With costs for academic mathematics software 
| approaching $1,000 for a single license, it doesn't 
| take a numbers whiz to realize that a free, open 
| source option is probably a better alternative. Sage 
| is an entire mathematics system licensed under the 
| GPL and available as a free download for Windows 
| (running VMWare), Mac OS X, and Linux.

| I personally feel it is terrible to *train* students mainly to use closed
| source commercial mathematics software. This is analogous to teaching
| students some weird version of linear algebra or calculus where they have to
| pay a license fee each time they use the fundamental theorem of calculus or
| compute a determinant.

Sage 3.0.2 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| To conclude, I'd say that this software is suited to meet numerous needs, and
| not just those related to math and school. It may very well be used, for
| instance, to satisfy one's curiosity regarding a particular aspect, or it
| could be a great help for graphical developers who need a quick look at a
| certain function's 3D plot.

| While SAGE Math is intended for Mathematical, Scientific, and Engineering
| use, I applaud PCLinuxOS for including this important open source software in

Sage: Insights into open source technology

,----[ Quote ]
| SAGE, which stands for Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation, is
| basically a free, high-level calculator.
|
| Like Firefox is an alternative to Internet explorer and Wikipedia is an
| alternative to Encyclopedia Britannica, SAGE is an alternative to Magma,
| Maple, Mathematica and MATLAB, according to the SAGE Web site.
