Yes.  Though I think we currently build it with no GUI backends, so
you can create plots, but you can only render them to PNG's.  (You use
savefig, I think.)   It would be nice for a windows guru to fix things
so that a GUI backend works.  Presumably windows has a windowing
library that works out of the box everywhere! :-).

As far as I can tell, sympy, scipy, and numpy all work perfectly in
sage-windows.
Sympy gets you pretty far for symbolic computation.  If you try

import sympy
sympy.<tab key>

you'll see it has a lot of symbolic manipulation capabilities.  It
also has a plot command which does both 2d and 3d plots and works
perfectly under windows.
