Marcus Thanks. Pretty interesting. I didn't know anything about SAGE. If you compare it with Maxima and R, SAGE must be really good.
I like Maxima and R so much. Maxima is an amazing software. I'm still admired with a software that makes algebra so simple and fast. In Windows Maxima makes everything you want, but in their Linux version seems to still lack some capabilities. Am I wrong or Maxima isn't fully developed for Linux?. Alfredo 2008/11/24 Marcus G.
