by Woody Evans
Sage, the free and open source analog to Wolfram Research's Mathematica, is now SageMathCloud. Thanks to collaboration with Google's cloud services, Sage is now in a position to draw more mathematicians to its community. In a blog announcement of the collaboration, Google throws down a gauntlet against claims of ownership of mathematical truths by the likes of Wolfram: "Modern mathematics research is distinguished by its openness.

These new results become tools to aid further progress."
