   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

• [Advanced mathematics higher degree inequalities and equations]

  Now, if you're doing it for real, the best and also most common method is simply, "use a computer". Many computer systems are really, really good at solving these equations and inequalities. You can also graph it and see on the graph every time it crosses zero. You can even do it for free without fancy software. There are a lot of web calculators that can do it, but one options is using wolframalpha.com. Source: 5 months ago

• How can Computers be used for mathematical applications when floats make them so inaccurate?

  This is how the functionality of scientific calculators and tools like MATLAB and WolframAlpha is implemented. Source: 5 months ago

• What are your favorite high-school level problems (olympiads etc)

  Go to wolframalpha.com, and ask it to evaluate. Source: 10 months ago

• Online Calculator for solving x in polynomial equation

  Do not go for a "one-use" calculator... Go for something that does it all if you know what you're doing. Go to wolframalpha.com. Source: 11 months ago

• Overview of the most useful probability distributions (using Logseq's Whiteboards)

  Some context: - Each "Card" you see is a reference to a block inside a big page called "Remarkable distributions". That page also contains more details (proofs, notable properties, ...) about each distribution. - The plots are generated using wolframalpha.com. I can just type "normal distribution" and I get a nice plot with different variations of the distribution's parameters. Source: 11 months ago

• 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 / 10 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: about 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
