## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 93/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 99, release rhythm 82, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 5199, "days_push": 10, "days_rel": 120, "gap_med": 0.0, "n_releases_24m": 39}
- flags: no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
SageMath is a free, open-source mathematics software system built on Python that integrates many existing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, Maxima, GAP, R) into a unified interface. It serves as a viable open-source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB for symbolic computation, algebra, and research mathematics.

## Use cases
- solve symbolic math and algebra problems
- alternative to Mathematica or Maple
- do number theory and combinatorics research
- plot and visualize mathematical functions
- run math computations in a Python environment
- teach undergraduate mathematics with open-source software

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-source CAS instead of expensive proprietary tools
- you want Python-based access to many math libraries under one interface
- you work in algebra, number theory, or combinatorics research
- you want reproducible math notebooks in the cloud or locally

## When to avoid
- you only need lightweight numeric computing - plain NumPy/SciPy may suffice
- you need a polished commercial GUI experience like Mathematica's
- you require MATLAB-specific toolboxes or Simulink
- you cannot install a large software bundle and lack cloud access

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: math, data-visualization, developer-tools
- domain: mathematics, education, data-science
- platform: windows, python, cross-platform
- tags: computer-algebra-system, cas, mathematical-software, notebook, symbolic-math, number-theory, open-source-alternative, research, linux, macos, docker
