AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking offline alternatives to Wolfram Alpha, currently using Derive 6, which is outdated. Recommendations include Mathematica, which is the same company as Wolfram Alpha and works offline, and Sage, which integrates multiple software packages. Other suggested programs are Pari-GP for advanced functions and Maple, which also offers LaTeX conversion. The discussion emphasizes the importance of specific features like integration, derivation, and algebraic simplification when choosing a computer algebra system. Overall, several viable options exist for users needing offline mathematical computation tools.

Hello and sorry for the bad english.
I 'm looking for a program like wolfram alpha but offline, currently I use a program called "derive 6". It is good but it stopped updating for quite So I would like to tell me some similar program to wolfram alpha but not need connection to intenet, and that updtate or at least not very old like derive.

thanks =D

Use Sage, it successfully incorporates many other software packages. It's the best thing out there.

I can't make a specific recommendation, but I suggest you search on keywords "computer algebra system" (CAS). (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_algebra_systems ). Some CAS programs are available as free software.

Thank to all, I'll take a look at the programs and maybe I had to be a little more specific,
usually what I need is :
integration (indefinite or definite)
derivation
algebraic simplification
calculating sums ∑ and products ∏
limits
taylor expancion
gamma function
riemann zeta function
(step by step soluction)
I think that is all.

thank you very much :biggrin:

It depends on the features you really need. None will have them all.

The same company that makes WA also sells Mathematica, which works offline.

Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_algebra_systems

To be more precise, Alpha is a web based front end for the Mathematica kernel.

You can try Pari-GP.
It has some if not all the functions you mentioned and can do arbitrary precision arithmetic ( no limit on the number of digits or precision).
It is a free program.
 
Mathematica IS Wolfram Alpha (and free), so that is definitely worth downloading. A different kind of math program but incredibly useful is Geogebra (also free).
 
Thanks to all who contributed.
maple has almost all the things I neeed also it has a converter to LaTex which facilitates post here, mathematica is great but it requires internet connection.
so when I do not have internet and I can not use wolfram, i use maple.
