Sage: a free, open-source complex math tool
|
|
University of Washington - A former assistant professor from Harvard, now at UofW, Dr. William Stein, and several students, have created a new open-source complex math solving tool called Sage. It is an Internet-based graphical tool which allows the user to do basically anything mathematically, from "mapping a 12-dimensional object to calculating rainfall patterns under global warming."

Stein began working on the project after spending the better part of a decade frustrated by commercial software. While the software worked he found a couple limiting factors. First and foremost, they are closed source entities. Any mathematician using commercial software would have no way of finding out how the machine arrived at the particular result. And second, there are large licensing fees for the major commercial programs, like Matlab, Maple, Mathematica and Magma. Full Story |
