    17 * Sage

    18 ** About Sage

    19 

    20 SAGE is a mathematical software covering aspects of mathematics

    21 including algebra, combinatorics, numerical mathematics, and

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

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

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

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

    46 * Maxima

    47 ** About Maxima

    48 Maxima is a computer algebra system which can perform symbolic and

    49 numerical computation. Maxima yields high precision numeric results by

    50 using exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and variable

    51 precision floating point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data

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

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