There are three free public SAGE Notebooks on sage.math. First off one can define equations and inequalities. EXAMPLES: g = 5*x^2 - 3 == 50 h = x + 1 < 30 Second one can plot 2D functions. EXAMPLES: plot(x^2).show() plot(sin(x)).show()
Your son could write programs to explore algebra 2 concepts. He would use the Python language.
