Another open source CAS one might want to look at is Maxima, which is based on Macsyma which was started in the 60's. Not many open source projects a history that long.
The most popular frontend is wxMaxima which provides a nice user interface on top of Maxima: https://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/ https://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/
I have been working on a different frontend, that leverages CLIM, which happens to be a perfect toolkit for something like Maxima. I made a screencast showing the current state of development:

- mruts 7y agoI would hardly call wxmaxima a “nice frontend” for maxima. It doesn’t even render equations nicely (in LaTeX), say. The emacs or LyX frontends are much nicer.
- lokedhs 7y agoI believe my renderer does a decent job though. You can see it in the video I posted. The equations in the documentation is renderered by the same code (which is not related to LaTeX, although since it's the reference implementation, I've tried to make my renderer be as similar as possible). I have a preview release available as an Appimage, but please note that it is not a completed product yet: https://github.com/lokedhs/docker-maxima-client/releases https://github.com/lokedhs/docker-maxima-client/releases
