The home page is http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/. SAGE is a Python-based wrapper around PARI, GAP, GMP, Singular, mwrank, and NTL. All of these appear to be already in Portage except "mwrank". However, the SAGE source comes with a copy of all its dependencies. I'm planning to check SAGE out in the near future. Meanwhile, it does look interesting, although I don't think it's as "industrial strength" as Axiom or Maxima. -- M.
