Revision history [back]

Thank you all for the responses.

Based on your input I am going to hold off on installing Sage on my current computer. In the next 4 to 5 days I want to get through as much of the school material I have downloaded as I can. I'm going to continue to use Maxima for the symbolic math. I'm going to use another program I found for the rest (called Octave). I have used Matlab and the c programming language to some extent in the past so Octave has been really easy for me. Not the setup I wanted but it is working for the moment.

I will have access to another linux box soon. So I see Sage in my future! Thank you again for your input.

P.S. I am very happy I found and posted on this website. Google led me to the physicsforums.com and that site led me here. And I thought to myself "Wow, this site looks kinda sketchy...I wonder if it is legit" I almost didn't register, but I'm glad I did.
