I have fallen in love! Yes it is true. It is with SageMath. SageMath is an open source and free alternative to Computational Mathematics Software like Mathmatica, Matlab, and others. This post is short and sweet, as I am exploring SageMath.

GNU Octave

I have found GNU Octave to be more interesting to learn and use. It is also more compatible with Matlab code.

Octave is a Matlab like Free/Libre/Open Source Software – FLOSS.

SMath Studio

Do you wish for MathCad like functionality, for free or for a better price? Then probably you will also like SMath. Just register with your email addresss and you can enjoy the basic version free for life on your personal computer. I would recommend registering/activating your installed copy for free via offline registration method (Scanning the QR Code), because otherwise it keeps asking to activate evey time you start it.
