| Jan 16, 2011 at 16:39 | comment | added | William Stein | Mathic - it probably originated with me giving a talk / demo of how sage is capable of calling out to other systems, and somebody got the wrong impression. Anyway the goal of sage is to be a free viable alternative to Magma (Mathematica, etc.), so calling them for core functionality would be counterproductive. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 11:11 | comment | added | Alex | My apologies! I had been told this by more than one person, so I'm not sure where this came from, but I will be sure to clarify with them. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 3:24 | comment | added | William Stein | Mathic's comment above about Sage calling to Magma for "hardcore stuff" is utterly and completely false. | |
| Jan 16, 2011 at 2:43 | comment | added | Thierry Zell | If you ever get seriously involved in computer calculations, chances are that you will end up using a variety of programs. Symbolic computation is extremely heavy-duty, and for almost any non-trivial task, performance varies wildly from software to software, with no single program being best for everything. | |

| Jan 15, 2011 at 11:04 | comment | added | Baptiste Calmès | I like Macaulay 2. It's quite good for commutative algebra and there are several packages to deal with various algebro-geometric problems. | |
| Jan 15, 2011 at 6:43 | comment | added | Alex | Sage can handle quite a bit, though for hardcore routines it typically calls to Magma (so if you do not have this installed, they will not work in Sage either). On that note, one of the postdocs with my supervisor uses Sage and the online Magma calculator in combination, and seems happy with it. | |
| Jan 15, 2011 at 3:52 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | Some arithmetic geometers I know use Mathematica, and appear to lead happy, productive lives. I have no idea whether it would work for you. | |
