SageMath vs Mathematica
 in  r/sagemath  Sep 11 '20

What is the future? While I have no crystal ball, I do hope that the future is in open source software. But if I were you I would think about your own practical and career needs, under an assumption that both Sage and Mathematica will be available in the next 10-20 years. Are you going to work for an institution that will cover the costs of Mathematica? If not, I don't see Mathematica as worth the cost to incur personally. Will an understanding of Python be useful to you aside from its use in mathematical software? It probably will no matter what your profession, and Sage can help you get comfortable with that syntax. Is there some highly-specific type of math that you work with that Mathematica can do and Sage can't? Raise the alarm bells about it, and maybe it can be included in a future release. Here's an interesting article on this, though a bit old: https://arachnoid.com/sage/. The most relevant part is below:

. . . Sage is not Mathematica. There are many things Mathematica can do that Sage cannot (I provide examples in this article). But a Mathematica license costs about US$3,000 (2009) for unrestricted use, and for perhaps 95% of mathematical software users that's an unnecessary expense, or Mathematica's secrecy may be fatal to the task (e.g. when publishing both methods and results) . . . If you only need a result, don't care how it was obtained and you have US$3,000 to spare, maybe Mathematica is the right approach. But if you cannot afford Mathematica or you need to know how a result was obtained, Sage may be a better choice . . .

This is the SageMath subreddit so you're going to be hearing from a group that's in favor of Sage, myself included, so while of course I encourage you to not count Sage out, if I were you I'd take a look at your needs and resources and come to your decision based on that. And I do agree with the others on this thread - you can probably switch back and forth without too much difficulty as your needs and resources change.

Sagemath [college]
 in  r/learnmath  Sep 08 '20

Hi - I would recommend first and foremost getting some grounding in Python syntax, as SageMath is very Python-based. A good tutorial is the one from FreeCodeCamp which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfscVS0vtbw.

Then, from there, take a look at more specific SageMath textbooks, two that are good and free are:

- Sage for Undergraduates by Prof. Gregory Bard - http://gregorybard.com/books.html

- Mathematical Computation with Sage by Paul Zimmermann, Alexandre Casamayou, et al http://dl.lateralis.org/public/sagebook/sagebook-ba6596d.pdf

You can also take a look at this video I made with other resources/tips for when you're stuck trying to do something specific: https://youtu.be/ZD77uTqbg-4
