Sage is an open source computer algebra system written python.
Matrices are defined as lists of rows via the syntax A = matrix([(1, 2,
3), (4, 5, 6)]).
Matrices can be summed A + B, scaled c * A, and
transposed A.T.
The trace of an nxn matrix A can be calculated with A.trace().
Vectors are defined with the syntax vector([coordinate list]).
Vectors can be scaled c*v and summed v+w.
