I agree with the above. Unfortunately, the intersection of Sage and
REDUCE users is as far as I know empty. Thus Hazem I hope you will
learn REDUCE "very well", so you can write a Sage/REDUCE interface.
I made an attempt at this a while ago -- it's in the file
devel/sage/sage/interfaces/reduce.py
included in every copy of Sage. I didn't know reduce at all,
so didn't get so far.
You can try what is there and maye get somewhere...
sage: import sage.interfaces.reduce as r
sage: r.reduce('2+2')
boom?
