Sage can be used to study general and advanced, pure and applied mathematics. This includes a
huge range of mathematics, including 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, studying and research.
The interface is a notebook in a web-browser or the command-line. Using the notebook, Sage
connects either locally to your own Sage installation or to a Sage server on the network. Inside
the Sage notebook you can create embedded graphics, beautifully typeset mathematical expressions,
add and delete input, and share your work across the network.
The following showcase presents some of Sage's capabilities, screenshots and gives you an
overall impression of what Sage is. The examples show the lines of code in Sage on the left side,
accompanied by an explanation on the right. They only show the very basic concepts of how Sage
works. Please refer to the
documentation material for more detailed
explanations or
visit the library to see Sage in action.
