** About Sage

SAGE is a mathematical software covering aspects of mathematics

including algebra, combinatorics, numerical mathematics, and

calculus. It is best known for its ability to perform symbolic

computation. Mathematics softwares like GAP, Maxima, Singular, SymPy

are contained with in SAGE.  It combines the power of many existing

open-source packages into a common Python-based interface.

** About Maxima

Maxima is a computer algebra system which can perform symbolic and

numerical computation. Maxima yields high precision numeric results by

using exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and variable

precision floating point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data

in two and three dimensions.The Maxima source code can be compiled on

many systems, including Windows, Linux, and MacOS X.
