I don't see Maple mentioned, but that was occasionally useful for algebraic geometry type stuff

The article restricts itself to free and open source software. For algebraic geometry I can usually get by with Macaulay2, which is mentioned at the end.

What kind of computations do you do with it? What's your field (of study)?
