Many institutions have licenses but you have to run it through ssh. The biggest advantage to my mind is that MAGMA authors were aware of basic notions in category theory, and so when you work with magma you have all the maps connecting your various objects (e.g. quotients, inclusions, etc.) built in. For coding many things, this is indispensably convenient. | |
