CoCalc

CoCalc

Up until the beginning of 2017, CoCalc was called SageMathCloud. That name was based on the initial goal of running the open-source mathematics software SageMath online in your web-browser. During the summer of 2016 it became clear that this name no longer captured the entire spectrum of offered features. In order to better communicate the broader scope of the platform a new name was needed. At the end of July 2017 William Stein proposed the name CoCalc for the first time. Despite several other ideas, this name stuck.

• Color scheme: there are some changes to the colors
