I think Quintec‭'s [answer][1] is a good one. But, just for the sake of completeness, I'll add some other options
## Proprietary options
~~- I used to use **Maple** ,a general-purpose computer algebra systems (CAS) like SageMath, for linear algebra problems solving.~~
~~- Then **MATLAB**, a numerical computing language and development environment.~~
- there is also **Mathematica**, another CAS similar to the 1st one
All of this programs are proprietary, but they may offer free/special licences for students and schools.
## Free and Open source options
However, if you don't have to use any of them (as part of a curriculum for example) I suggest looking for their Open Source, and/or free alternatives first:
- My 1st suggestion is to go for a **SageMath**, since it's free, can be installed, or used on line, and it offers the additional advantage of used to **python**, a more versatile language, rather than a language that's dependent and restricted to the tool
And here is some others in no particular orther
- **R**: a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics.
- **Julia**: a high-level, high-performance, dynamic programming language
- **GNU Octave**: a software featuring a high-level programming language, primarily intended for numerical computations.
