Sage is not something that you would want to use for ML per say. It can, however, help you with understanding of the underlaying math and algorithms. It has excellent support for symbolic math, statistics (distributions etc.) and just about everything else you are going to need to study ML. I recently switched from Mathematica and could not be happier.

How are sage's differential equation solvers now? How does it compare to Mathematica's? I'd love to get back into sage if it worked better with that sort of thing now.
