| Or consider SageMath. This is a GPL program that
| aims to replicate pricey programs like Mathematica
| and Matlab, using an interface derived from open
| source Python.
|
| What this delivers is transparency. Teachers and
| even kids can make additions to SageMath, learning
| Python in the process, and these improvements too
| go into a commons.

| 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.

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.
