SageMath, also known as Sage (website: http://sagemath.org/), is

packages with over a million lines of new Python code.

The compiled version for most operating systems (as well as the

source files if you prefer to compile Sage yourself) are available

on our download mirrors worldwide:

(We send the announcement a few days after the release so that

most versions will have made their way to the download mirrors.)
