Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages into a common Python-based interface. Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab. Sage can be used in several ways: through an interactive command line, by writing stand-alone scripts, through the graphical notebook interface in a browser, or through the KDE Cantor application (part of a full Slackware installation). Building sage requires >12GB of disk space, so you may need to redefine $TMP and/or $OUTPUT. See README.BUILDOPTS for additional (important) information about build options and such.
