   SageMath's goal is to provide a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and Matlab

   I started SageMath in 2004 to provide a FOSS alternative to expensive commercial mathematics software. Sage is Python-based and has had around 600 volunteer contributors. The project has also received millions of dollars in support from grants around the world, and has a very active developer community.

   This site is about Software as a Service, and there are at least two easy ways to use Sage online as a service:

   https://cocalc.com and https://sagecell.sagemath.org/

   🏁 Competitors: Wolfram Mathematica, MATLAB, Maple, Magma

• Did studying proof based math topics e.g. analysis make you a better programmer?

  I received a Ph.D. In pure math (number theory) from Berkeley, and then worked as an academic mathematician for 20 years, so wrote a few dozen research papers and some books. My ability to write software for doing mathematics was obviously better as a result of studying mathematics, e.g., I started SageMath (https://sagemath.org) and wrote a big chunk of it. Now I mostly do full stack web development (I... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• How do I get this calculator to give me the derivative?

  You could also try sagemath (sagemath.org), available for window, mac & linux for free. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there any good free numeric computing environments?

  SageMath gets my vote. I use it to compute simplicial objects that turn out to be infinitely categories. https://sagemath.org SageMath includes most of the python libraries already mentioned, and much more. Source: over 1 year ago

  I am a fan of this site (and of this site's tutorial in particular). I would also recommend this site. The SageMath site has some good tutorials too. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an alternative to learning Latex for publishing research papers?

  You can use LyX. LyX self-describes as a What You See is What You Mean editor, basically a fully graphical editor for writing LaTeX. Source: about 1 year ago

• Math and Science People: How do you write equations / proofs?

  Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian. Source: about 1 year ago

• VSCode vs Texifier (formerly texpad)

  I like LyX. It's not for everyone, but damn it can be effective. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best offline editor/compiler

  An upopular opinion perhaps, but I'm a huge fan of the WYSIWYM editor LyX. Source: over 1 year ago

• Adding custom words to the dictionary LINUX

  I don't think LyX devs will notice your point here, alas. You could consider writing an email to the devs email list found on lyx.org. Source: over 1 year ago
