Is There Open Source Mathematics Software Available?

Click For Summary
Open source mathematics software options similar to Mathematica, Maple, or Matlab include Octave, which is a Matlab clone for Linux, and Maxima, both recognized for their capabilities. SageMath is also mentioned as a potential replacement for Mathematica. Users have found Octave and Maxima particularly effective for their applications. Additionally, Python, along with libraries like Matplotlib and SciPy, is noted as a valuable alternative for mathematical computations and visualizations.

Dear Friends,

Do some one know whether there is some open source Mathematics software available like Mathematica/Maple or Matlab.
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
Yes.
 
Octave and Maxima are two of the best.

sagemath is supposed to be a replacement for mathematica
 
Thanks my friends for your help.
I will try these softwares now! I am not sure if it is possible to understand the source code for learning algorithms implemented.

I'm going to echo what he said, at least for the applications I use it for.

I used to add MuPAD Light, but the corporate suits took over and yanked the free version.
 
I use python with matplotlib and scipy...
