Scilab is a free and open-source, cross-platform numerical computational package and a high-level, numerically oriented programming language. It can be used for signal processing, statistical analysis, image enhancement, fluid dynamics simulations, numerical optimization, and modeling, simulation of explicit and implicit dynamical systems and (if the corresponding toolbox is installed) symbolic manipulations.[2][3][4]
Scilab Symbolic Toolbox Free Download
It seems they have added symbolic computation toolbox for scilab (which is free). Since you are linux user, you might want to explore it. I have never personally used it though (I have used scilab itself and it does a good job of being a lilliputian Matlab)
Another very popular free program for symbolic computations is PARI/GP. It is aimed somehow at computations in number theory, but its functionality is not only restricted to this. You can read a little bit about it also in the wikipedia article.
The Matlab commercial analytics program has at least two free alternatives, GNU Octave and Scilab. Developed by Mathworks, Matlab is billed as a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment. It has a reputation for handling heavy duty numeric computing tasks and allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, and creation of user interfaces. An optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine for symbolic computing. An additional package called Simulink adds graphical multi-domain simulation and model-based design for dynamic and embedded systems.
The Euler Math Toolbox was also inspired by Matlab, but the syntax is not exactly compatible. Like Matlab, Euler is a matrix language designed to handle vectors and matrices, in most cases without explicit loops. Euler does symbolic math with the help of another free program called Maxima. One good thing: Euler is still actively developed with two updates released earlier this year.
The following commercial and free modeling and simulation environments for Modelicaare currently available (note, that demo versions for the commercialenvironments are available and that some demo versions can be downloadedfree of charge):
Dymola has a Modelica translator which is able to perform all necessary symbolic transformations for large systems (> 100 000 equations) as well as for real time applications. A graphical editor for model editing and browsing, as well as a simulation environment are included. Convenient interfaces to MATLAB and the popular block diagram simulator Simulink exist. For example, a Modelica model can be transformed into a SIMULINK S-function C mex-file which can be simulated in SIMULINK as an input/output block. A demo version of Dymola can be downloaded here.
OpenModelica Microgrid Gym (OMG):The OpenModelica Microgrid Gym (OMG) package is a free software toolbox for the simulation and control optimization of microgrids based on energy conversion by power electronic converters. The main characteristics of the toolbox are the plug-and-play grid design and simulation in OpenModelica as well as the ready-to-go approach of intuitive reinforcement learning (RL) approaches through a Python interface.
In the interest of posterity, we urge you to think twice before using this toolbox for your symbolic computing needs. We highly recommend using packages like SAGE for this (and we have a sister team available that is able to provide support for SAGE). If you need to perform symbolic operations and have any queries on what package you should use for your task, please feel free to get in touch with us at contact@scilab.in
What is Grocer? Grocer is the econometric toolbox for Scilab, a matrix-oriented software similar to Gauss and Matlab, that I have developed, first alone and since 2005 with Emmnanuel Michaux. The current version works with Scilab versions from the 5.5.0 (I do not maintain Grocer anymore for older Scilab versions). Like Scilab, Grocer is free and open source.

If you want performance and you wan't to use free software best to look at scipy. But the syntax is less compatible. You will need to rewrite you code. Spyder is an ide that uses python and scipy, scilab is a mash of octave and maxima and a few others. Not sure about performance of freemat but I don't think it is as developed as Octave. 2ff7e9595c
