Is there any Linux Software Equivalent to Microsoft Mathematics ??

[RLDr]

Is there any Linux software (free and open source) known equivalent to Microsoft Mathematics?? I use Microsoft Mathematics extensively. I don't want to use it through wine.

Thanks in advance.

I looked on osalt.com, a nice resource to find open source alternatives to proprietary software.

They recommend sagemath.org.

Hope that's helpful.

I have been wondering this also, since Microsoft Math is a very useful and powerful software. Sage looks promising, I'll give it a try.

Thanks 'Dutchmaster' for your links. I will test 'sagemath.org'.

There are many, GNU Octave, Sage, Scilab and more. Linux is used extensively in academic circles and universities worldwide so many programs exist suited to that environment. There is also an excellent front end Cantor.

What exactly are you wanting to do? Do you want to plot points and do function that deal with quadratics and such and that does geometry or are you looking for something that has a CAS(Computerized Algebra System) KPlot is good for graphing. Also, if you want a CAS, which solves algebra problems for you, I would suggest using http://www.wolframalpha.com/. Just put the function or equation into the text area and it will solve it and plot it for you. Great site.

Type in the text area: x^2+6x+8 and then hit enter. It will solve for your roots and plot the graph for you.

Another option is SMath Studio which only requires mono runtime to run.

You can buy Mathematica for either Windows or Linux.....
