Mathematica Alternatives

Mathematica is described as 'Definitive technical computing system spanning machine learning and neural networks, data science, visualizations and much more' and is a very popular numerical computation software in the education & reference category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Mathematica for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and Android apps. The best Mathematica alternative is SageMath, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Mathematica are R (programming language), GNU Octave, Jupyter and Maxima.

filter to find the best alternatives

Mathematica alternatives are mainly Calculators, but if you're looking for Numerical Computation Software or Programming Languages you can filter on that. Other popular filters include Free, Open Source, Android, iPad, Linux and Linux + Open Source. You can also filter by region, for example EU-based alternatives if you prefer software developed in the European Union. These are just examples - use the filter bar below to find more specific alternatives to Mathematica.
