SymPy Alternatives

SymPy is described as 'Python library for symbolic computation. The stated goals of the library are to become a full-featured computer algebra system and to keep a simple code base to promote extensibility and comprehensibility' and is an app in the education & reference category. There are more than 25 alternatives to SymPy for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and BSD apps. The best SymPy alternative is R (programming language), which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like SymPy are SageMath, Mathematica, MATLAB and SciPy.
