Open Source 'Sage' Takes Aim at High End Math Software

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that'll-take-awhile dept.

coondoggie writes "A new open source mathematics program is looking to push aside commercial software commonly used in mathematics education, in large government laboratories and in math-intensive research. The program's backers say the software, called Sage, can do anything from mapping a 12-dimensional object to calculating rainfall patterns under global warming."
