SAGE is a University of Washington project whose goal is to create an optimal, free, open source software environment for research and experimentation in algebra, geometry, number theory, cryptography, and related areas. William Stein, a professor with the University of Washington Department of Mathematics started SAGE in 2005 by combining together the very best of existing free software, including: Singular, PARI, GAP, Macaulay2, Maxima, gfan. Next, he created interfaces to non-free software : MAGMA, Maple, Mathematical. From that point, he began to fill in the gaps with new code. Now dozens of developers have joined Stein in working on filling those gaps and making SAGE a polished and high quality piece of free software. (Series: CSE Colloquia - 2007)
