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?.
