In each case, we use the native format of that package (the format you
use to type formulas at the command line in that package). That is,
we have converters from Sage->Maxima, Maxima->Sage, Sage->Maple, etc.
(These converters are only partially complete; some Sage expressions
will not successfully translate into expressions in the other
packages, and some expressions in the other packages will not
successfully translate back into Sage.)
These conversions are available as foo._XXX_init(), for the
appropriate "XXX"; for instance:
sage: sin(x^2)._mathematica_init_()
'Sin[(x) ^ (2)]'
The LaTeX conversion is implemented in a very similar way, with the
_latex_ method:
sage: sin(x^2)._latex_()
'\\sin \\left( {x}^{2} \\right)'
