#12How does this compare to SAGE?
sage is free software, this is proprietary

lmao
This is a really impressive project, but the practically always-on requirement - including an internet connection to go offline - is absolutely hilarious.
Also, the requirement for me to "get a quote" to get an idea of how much it'll cost me? I'm not going to even bother trying the free trial. I can tell you how much MatLab cost me for my personal projects - $149.
Now I'm not saying MatLab and this are an apples to apples comparison (not even close), but y'all are chopping yourselves off at the knees.

#14> Sometimes a Symbolica license key is needed on a machine that is not connected to the internet. For this purpose, an offline key that is valid for 24 hours can be generated from a valid license key on a machine that is connected to the internet. Even Mathematica doesn't pull shit like that.
Author of Symbolica here: this may change in the future. Note that it is easy to do this, you just call the function
from symbolica import \*
set_license_key('YOUR_KEY')
print(get_offline_license_key())Re: Symbolica Computer Algebra System
#15I feel like this is missing some comparisons to Sympy and Mathematica. Probably it's more polished than Sympy, but if I'm going to closed-software software why would I pick this over MMA?

Author of Symbolica here: for your personal projects the cost is 0, as you'd be a hobbyist.
Symbolica is developed by only one person, so forgive me if I can't get every aspect of the project right on the first try (especially the non-technical part) :) I will see about removing the online on start-up part. It's essentially the only anti-piracy step that I have.
At the moment there is no fixed cost for use in industry, since the price will vary based on the amount of users and other factors.

#17There is a missing variable declaration in the Colab playground. y = Expression.var('y') e = 1/(x*y+1) e = e.derivative(x) md(e.to_latex()) I suppose, the first line should be: x, y = Expression.var('x', 'y')
Thanks, fixed it! It should be
x, y = Expression.vars('x', 'y')
Re: Symbolica Computer Algebra System
#18This only seems to focus on polynomial equations. If so it is a bit of a strech to call it a CAS
It has pattern matching, Groebner basis computations, expression simplification, series expansion, numerical integration, etc.
Deep down every CAS is about manipulating polynomials :)
