* Sage (/Recommended/)
** 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.

* Maxima
** 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.
