Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under
|
|
|
|
|
the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages
|
|
|
|
|
into a common Python-based interface.

Sage can be used in several ways: through an interactive command line,
|
|
|
|
|
by writing stand-alone scripts, through the graphical notebook

interface in a browser, or through the KDE Cantor application (part
|
|
|
|
|
of a full Slackware installation).

Building sage requires >5GB of disk space, so you may need to
|
|
|
|
|
redefine $TMP and/or $OUTPUT.
