Sage or SageMath is free software for solving math problems. Sage is available for Linux and macOS and since August 2017 also officially for Windows . A special VirtualBox image including Fedora Linux substructure is provided for all other systems . This allows SageMath to run on any system running VirtualBox, especially Windows. The first version was published in 2005 by William A. Stein , a mathematician at the University of Washington ; originally under the name SAGE as an abbreviation for Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation .
Sage combines the strengths of many, often highly specialized, computer algebra systems and numerical libraries that are supplied with Sage by providing uniform interfaces to them. Some of the most important are listed in the table below.
| algebra | Singular , PolyBoRi |
| Analysis | Maxima , SymPy |
| Number theory | PARI / GP, NTL |
| Numerics | NumPy , SciPy |
| statistics | R. |
| Linear Algebra | LinBox, LAPACK |
| Graph theory | NetworkX |
| Group theory | Cap |
In addition, interfaces to proprietary math software such as Mathematica or Maple are available. But Sage also offers its own functionality, for example an implementation of module forms .
Sage can be used in different ways:
- through an interactive console based on IPython
- a graphical user interface that runs in the web browser . This can be used to create and edit “Worksheets” comparable to those of Maple. These can also be integrated into LaTeX .
- by writing programs in Sage
- by writing Python scripts using Sage libraries
The software won first prize in the Logiciels scientifiques category (scientific software) in the global Les Trophées du Libre competition for open source software in 2007 and the ACM's SIGSAM Jenks Prize in 2013 .
