   Stable (slow but steady growth)

   I've been using Maxima since my undergraduate (over 10 years), now with Ubuntu20.04 lts, I become a newbie of SageMath. For a small project (both symbolical and numerical), in particular, student lab activities, Maxima has been a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing data. (The Android version is also fantastic, but the poor keyboard.)

   Mathematica is always enemy/friend. (My coworkers are all Mathematica speakers.)

   🏁 Competitors: Wolfram Mathematica

   👍 Pros:    Easy for cli user|Lithghter

   👎 Cons:    Good for advanced users of computers (cli is sometimes hard for newbie)|Hard to find official references, tutors, etc

• The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

  There's Mathics, a subset of the language implemented in Python, but unfortunately after the main author of that was hired by Wolfram, the project seems to have basically died. Still fun for what it is. https://mathics.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• suggestion for final yr project

  You could try to write more Mathematica functions into SymPy. In other words, contribute to the Mathics project (https://mathics.org/). Source: 9 months ago

• Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

  Thank you for mentioning Mathics, https://mathics.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Does anyone really like what Mathematica achieves, but hates the syntax?

  Mathics is probably the best bet for this in the long term. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Why the Wolfram Language Is (Like) Open Source

  I'm one of the authors that spent years building SageMath; indeed, the goal of our project is to create a viable free open source alternative to Mathematica (etc.). There's an interesting discussion of actual attempts to create open source implementations of the Wolfram Language in Wikipedia under "Implementations" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_Language). The first attempt was 30 years ago by... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Integral Calculator

  I think the really neat piece of software behind this is maxima (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/), a rather influential computer algebra system of ancient lineage still in use today in more place than you might think. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Rye: Homoiconic dynamic programming language with some new ideas

  In the maxima computer algebra system[1] which was ancestrally based on lisp it has a single quote operator[2] which delays evaluation of something and a "double quote" (which acually two single quotes rather than an actual double quote) operator[3] which asks maxima to evaluate some expression immediately rather than leaving it in symbolic form.[4] [1] https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ [2]... - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• True or False

  Use wxmaxima, a free and open-source computer algebra system:. Source: 4 months ago

• C++ library for solving EQUATIONS

  There are several options, here is one of them: https://maxima.sourceforge.io. Source: 11 months ago

• Do you know computer algebra software capable of managing systems of multiple equations with multiple unknowns and multiple variables?

  You may use maxima cas (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/) to solve symbolic complex problems. Source: about 1 year ago
