I made this comment below, but about 6 or so years ago, I found it could be used for science and engineering purposes like solving ODEs but it seemed a little bit rough at that. Today, is it improved for use for science types? Do Sage and Cocalc find users in this area?

I am a pure mathematician (number theorist) and the vast majority of the 600+ Sage developers over the years come from research mathematics. We generally view the numerical python ecosystem (numpy, scipy, pandas, etc.) as the place where development on engineering code happens for Python. So Sage itself isn't directly better for engineering, but I think the Python ecosystem has overall improved during the last six years...
