SAGE for Mac is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more.

Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or directly via interfaces or wrappers. Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab.

SageMath is built out of nearly 100 open-source packages and features a unified interface. SAGE for macOS can be used to study elementary and advanced, pure and applied mathematics.

This includes a huge range of mathematics, including basic algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, exact linear algebra and much more.

It combines various software packages and seamlessly integrates their functionality into a common experience. It is well-suited for education and research.

The user interface is a notebook in a web browser or the command line. Using the notebook, SageMath connects either locally to your own app installation or to a SageMath server on the network.

Inside the Sage Math notebook you can create embedded graphics, beautifully typeset mathematical expressions, add and delete input, and share your work across the network.
