SAGE (Computer Algebra System)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about a computer algebra software package. For other uses see SAGE (disambiguation).
SAGE (Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation) is a distribution of free and open source software that supports research and teaching in algebra, geometry, number theory, and cryptography, among other mathematical subjects. Together, the programs included with SAGE comprise an open source computer algebra system (CAS). SAGE is mainly written in Python and uses the interactive IPython shell. The SAGE project is led by William Stein and is actively worked on by many contributors.
SAGE includes or provides an interface to several other open source algebra systems including Gap, Maxima, Singular, and PARI/GP as well as closed source, but free KASH. SAGE also provides interfaces to non-free software such as Magma, Mathematica, and Maple. Plotting can be done from inside SAGE using built-in interfaces to Matplotlib and Gnuplot.
SAGE runs on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.
