It's pretty nice but like Drakkith said, too bad it couldn't help solve a linear algebra assignment.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
