Studying algebraic geometry back in 1980, I nearly dropped out of grad school: Attempting to solve century-old problems with century-old methods stopped making sense to me. Then a friend and I had this vision that algebraic geometry should be computerized. Our computer algebra system "Macaulay" inspired "Cocoa" and "Singular".
"SageMath" is an amazing project. It is best understood as an operating system, that aspires to gradually replace each program it hosts.
Would you credit work you did in Photoshop to your MacOS or Windows operating system? Computational algebraic geometry in SageMath is handled by Singular. The Singular team has dedicated their lives to this project; I cringe whenever I go to a talk and their work is credited to SageMath. This article makes no mention of Singular.
