Dimitris, have you checked out SAGE yet? (sagemath.org)- -
<snip>

Some questions.
1) It is SAGE or S.A.G.E.? In the latter case
do you know what the initials stand for?

My understanding is that SAGE (written in one word) stands for "Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation."

2) Do you use it frequently? What opinion you
have for it? I don't want a detail answer. Just
some remarks about its graphica/symbolical/numerical
capabilities. What types of programming it does support?

I already use a free CAS (Maxima;
which I find it very good btw) and I want to know
if it deserves the effort and time to learn the basics
of another CAS.

The following (short) presentation might help you to decide what to do.
