SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more. Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or directly via interfaces or wrappers.
This page is designed to be a resource for getting started with Sage. It is by no means comprehensive, nor does it necessarily represent best practice. (I myself am a Sage novice.)
Ways to use Sage
There are three ways that you can use Sage:
- Small pieces of Sage code can be executed at the SageMathCell.
- For larger chunk of code, and to be able to save your code, I recommend using the LC Data Science Server. Here are some instructions for getting started.
- Finally, you can download Sage (free) to your computer at: http://www.sagemath.org/.
