SageMath
SageMath, formerly SAGE, then Sage, is computational mathematics free software. It includes
- python as the user language, also used in a lot of the source code
- maxima, sympy, ginac (via Pynac) for symbolic algebra
- numpy, scipy can be used for numerical computations
- jupyter-notebook for its notebook system, with its own jupyter-kernel
- SageTex to embed results into latex documents
- many more components, in various languages, but interfaced in Python for usage in Sage
SageMath uses the Python language, with a tiny bit of syntactic sugar to ease definition of mathematical objects such as symbolic functions, number fields, polynomial rings. Some parts are written in cython or C/C++ for speed, but a typical user would only use Python syntax. Python wrappers help call other software included in SageMath pythonically.
It is possible to use SageMath using texmacs.

Only use the sage tag for questions about SageMath, the Sage mathematics software system.
The TeX.SE website has a [sagetex] tag for SageTeX questions.
MathOverflow also has a [sage] tag for Sage questions.
Note also that Ask Sage, SageMath's questions-and-answers site, and sage-support, the user support mailing list, are very active and that questions asked there typically get answered faster than on the StackExchange network.
