Questions tagged [math-software]

For help with mathematical questions arising from software such as Maple, MATLAB, Mathcad, Pari/GP, R, and the WolframAlpha website, etc. Consider posting questions about Mathematica at the Mathematica StackExchange instead. For GAP, SAGE, and MAGMA, one might use tags (computer-algebra-systems), (gap), (sage), (magma-cas).
