   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

• 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 / over 2 years 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 / over 2 years ago

• True or False

  Use wxmaxima, a free and open-source computer algebra system:. Source: over 2 years ago

• C++ library for solving EQUATIONS

  There are several options, here is one of them: https://maxima.sourceforge.io. Source: over 3 years 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: over 3 years ago

• Wolfram Compute Services

  There is of course a FOSS rewrite https://mathics.org. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Learn You Galois Fields for Great Good (00)

  If you know Mathematica syntax, you could also try Mathics: https://mathics.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• A Mathematica interpreter in Typescript

  I applaud calling the language Mathematica, despite Stephen Mathematica's attempts to rename it a couple of years ago. See also: https://mathics.org/ It's a more mature and complete reimplementation of Mathematica, though still miles behind the original. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Harmonic Function Theory

  Mathis is an open source clone of Mathematica. https://mathics.org/ Naturally, Wolfram hired the creator and the project nearly died. A couple of heroes stepped in to create a second generation, but it's just too hard to continually compete with a multi-billion dollar company. No idea how OEIS is involved. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• 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 / over 2 years ago
