Chapter 1. What Can You Do with Sage?

Sage is a powerful tool—but you don't have to take my word for it. This chapter will showcase a few of the things that Sage can do to enhance your work. At this point, don't expect to understand every aspect of the examples presented in this chapter. Everything will be explained in more detail in the later chapters. Look at the things Sage can do, and start to think about how Sage might be useful to you. In this chapter, you will see how Sage can be used for:

  • Making simple numerical calculations

  • Performing symbolic calculations

  • Solving systems of equations and ordinary differential equations

  • Making plots in two and three dimensions

  • Analysing experimental data and fitting models
