I use Octave daily (in the last hour, will return to it when I finish my soup), but have never seen anything that matched Mathematica's symbolic/pure math functionality.
Will check out Sage, haven't used Maxima since 2004. Thanks!
Edit: Sage looks nifty, Maxima looks unchanged, at least at screenshot-level.
- knowledgesale 14y agoSymPy (sympy.org) is a well-developed Python package that works with symbolic/analytical mathematics on a level comparable to Mathematica's. Octave is more of an open source Matlab equivalent. That is, mostly linear algebra.
