History: i maintain moving this section to the bottom is chronological. At least, there's nothing in the text to suggest this happened before 1987, which is currently the item following it. If they are introduced earlier, there should be an associated date.
Replaced "and" with "an" in the sentence "The movement to web-based applications....", after the first comma.

The first popular computer algebra systems were [[muMATH]], [[Reduce computer algebra system|Reduce]], [[Derive (computer algebra system)|Derive]] (based on muMATH), and [[Macsyma]]; a popular [[copyleft]] version of Macsyma called [[Maxima (software)|Maxima]] is actively being maintained. [[Reduce (computer algebra system)|Reduce]] became free software in 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |title=REDUCE Computer Algebra System at SourceForge |url=http://reduce-algebra.sourceforge.net |access-date=2015-09-28 |website=reduce-algebra.sourceforge.net}}</ref> As of today,{{when|date=October 2016}} the most popular commercial systems are [[Mathematica]]<ref>[http://history.siam.org/oralhistories/gonnet.htm Interview with Gaston Gonnet, co-creator of Maple] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071229044836/http://history.siam.org/oralhistories/gonnet.htm|date=2007-12-29}}, SIAM History of Numerical Analysis and Computing, March 16, 2005.</ref> and [[Maple (software)|Maple]], which are commonly used by research mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. Freely available alternatives include [[SageMath]] (which can act as a [[Front and back ends|front-end]] to several other free and nonfree CAS). Other significant significant systems include [[Axiom (computer algebra system)|Axiom]], [[Maxima (software)|Maxima]], [[Magma (computer algebra system)|Magma]], and [[SageMath]].
 
The movement to web -based applications in early noughts saw the release of [[WolframAlpha]], andan online search engine and CAS which includes the capabilities of [[Mathematica]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Bhattacharya |first=Jyotirmoy |date=2022-05-12 |title=Wolfram{{!}}Alpha: a free online computer algebra system |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/wolframalpha-a-free-online-computer-algebra-system/article65401003.ece |access-date=2023-04-26 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
 
More recently, computer algebra systems have been implemented using [[artificial neural networks]], though as of 2020 they are not commercially available<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ornes |first=Stephen |title=Symbolic Mathematics Finally Yields to Neural Networks |url=https://www.quantamagazine.org/symbolic-mathematics-finally-yields-to-neural-networks-20200520/ |access-date=2020-11-04 |website=Quanta Magazine |language=en}}</ref>
