> But with something like mathematica and the price of it you will never be able to have a wide verification of the result if the software is not free. This is not strictly true. The Wolfram Language/Engine is free. You can run the code in the terminal or after connecting the kernel to Jupyter Notebook. The frontend Mathematica is not free. https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/05/launching-today-... https://github.com/WolframResearch/WolframLanguageForJupyter

SageMath (and the cocalc-docker image, and JupyterLite, and mambaforge, ) include SymPy; which can be called with `evaluate=False` Advanced Expression Manipulation > Prevent expression evaluation: https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorials/intro-tutorial/manip... > There are generally two ways to prevent the evaluation, either pass an evaluate=False parameter while constructing the expression, or create an evaluation stopper by wrapping the expression with UnevaluatedExpr. From "disabling automatic simplification in sympy" https://stackoverflow.com/a/48847102 : > A simpler way to disable automatic evaluation is to use context manager evaluate. For example, from sympy.core.evaluate import evaluate from sympy.abc import x,y,z with evaluate(False): print(x/x) sage.symbolic.expression.Expression.unhold() and `hold=True`: https://doc

Because of the "crazy" license (I would say it's quite reasonable, essentially it disallows using it for anything else than development or in the context of non-commercial personal projects), the user interface [1], the support... I don't use Mathematica myself, I don't know what functionality is missing. [1] the free wolfram engine is a command line (or API) application and the Jupyter interface is much more primitive than the real thing: https://github.com/WolframResearch/WolframLanguageForJupyter
