Wolfram Demonstrations Project - Free Interactive Mathematical Models and Apps
Wolfram Demonstrations Project is a collection of over 11,000 interactive modules that illustrate a certain concept or formula. Unlike videos, the user can change parameters and see how the system reacts. This visual style of mathematics can aid in understanding the underlying structure of the formulas.

Firstly, you need to download the CDF Player. All the Demonstrations are saved as a Computable Document Format (CDF) file and can only be run within the CDF Player. In many ways, these are Mathematica applets. The CDF Player comes in at a hefty 1 GB, so may take a while to download, depending on your connection speed.
For content creators on Steemit, these CDF Demos can be linked to within articles on the same topic. The reader can thereby test out ideas and interact with the software, rather than just seeing images and videos.
All CDF files are open source, so you can even adapt an existing demo or write your own from scratch.

I like Wolfram, I wish it was free, open source and available to everyone!
You should check out SageMath.
It's a math software (very much like Mathematica and in some ways better), which is open source and built on python. There's a freemium cloud service for it too called Cocalc!
(if you don't want to run up your own instance, the cloud service is really nice!)
You beat me to it! But Sage also has a win version, although online comments suggest it is very slow on windows.
There is a wikipedia list of similar software:

Thank you, guys, will look into it!
