==History== The predecessor of the Magma system was named Cayley (1982β1993), after [[Arthur Cayley]]. Magma was officially released in August 1993 (version 1.0). Version 2.0 of Magma was released in June 1996 and subsequent versions of 2.X have been released approximately once per year. In 2013, the Computational Algebra Group finalized an agreement with the [[Simons Foundation]], whereby the Simons Foundation will underwrite all costs of providing Magma to all U.S. [[Nonprofit organization|nonprofit]], [[Non-governmental organization|non-governmental]] scientific research or educational institutions. All students, researchers and faculty associated with a participating institution will be able to access Magma for free, through that institution.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Simons Foundation Scheme for the Provision of Magma at US Educational and Scientific Research Organizations |url=http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/simons_details |website=Magma Computer Algebra}}</ref>
