What software do you use for symbolic computing? For example: computing integrals and combinatorial sums, with unspecified parameters and coefficients.

I have used Mathematica for a long time but don't have access to a license anymore and I am wondering if I might find an open source replacement. I am also aware that Mathematica is available for free on Raspberry Pi but I'm not sure how that compares to the desktop version.

sympy is generally enough for what I need to do, but your use cases might be more complex

À titre indicatif il me semble qu'on a des licences Maple et Mathematica au niveau du centre (voir les pages de la DSI… qui sont toutes pétées depuis l'extérieur…).
