[[Casio]] released their first CAS calculator with the [[CFX-9970G]] and succeeded it with the [[Casio Algebra FX Series|Algebra FX Series]] in 1999-2003 and the current [[Casio ClassPad 300|ClassPad Series]].{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}
 
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]], [[GAP_(computer_algebra_system)|GAP]], [[Maxima (software)|Maxima]], [[Magma (computer algebra system)|Magma]], and [[SageMath]].
 
The movement to web-based applications in the early 2000s saw the release of [[WolframAlpha]], an 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>
