Sage is changing the landscape for sw math. it is opensource and free.

- pure open source and freedom- beyond powerful. Sage Is effectively everything; by that I mean a massive collection of libraries. I’ts a little hard to compare, but you can think a bit of an extensive collection of libraries. - don’t need to worry in 10 years about your iPad this should always be supported regardless of os versionLook I’m 44. But rather than go back to the 90’s and buy 150 calculator your time is better spent here or in a python library or something. You know the kind of thing you ‘ll actually need later down the road. This is much more powerful, and portable to anything you might need. There is. No vender lock. I feel graphing calculators had their day, but it’s over. This is so much better.

Combines with Python to be as powerful as MathCad, which is no longer supported, and SAGE is easier to use as well. I wish that i could organize math sheets better, but that is probably an issue with apples lack of a file structure. This app has introduced me to SAGE on the PC, but the iPAD version is still the most comfortable and easiest to use.

While Wolfram maybe slightly all round "better", Sage Math offers a great alternative. The app delivers great.
