.. Sage Reference Manual documentation master file, created by sphinx-quickstart on Sun Sep 28 03:34:37 2008. You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. .. _ch:intro: Welcome to Sage's Reference Manual! ================================================= This is the manual for the Sage mathematical software system. Sage is free open source math software that supports research and teaching in algebra, geometry, number theory, cryptography, and related areas. Both the Sage development model and the technology in Sage itself are distinguished by an extremely strong emphasis on openness, community, cooperation, and collaboration: we are building the car, not reinventing the wheel. This reference manual contains many examples that illustrate the usage of Sage. The examples are all tested with each release of Sage, and should produce exactly the same output as in this manual, except for line breaks. The Sage command line is briefly described in :ref:`ch:cmdline`, which lists the command line options. For more details about the command line, see the Sage tutorial. The Sage graphical user interface is described in :ref:`ch:notebook`. This graphical user interface is unusual in that it operates via your web browser. It provides you with Sage worksheets that you can edit and evaluate, which contain scalable typeset mathematics and beautiful antialiased images.
