I am most familiar with Maple, and that is the power I am looking for, subtract the cost. I have heard of Gnu Octave once so will look around for that. Thanks for the suggestion. The amount of math I want to do is matrix, derivatives, integrals, and some differentials and interpolation. A built in programming language nice but not necessary. ** Travis Roth www.TravisRoth.com travis@travisroth.com -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:blinux-list-admin@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Mario Lang Sent: Friday, November 29, 2002 1:52 PM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: Math programs "Travis Roth" <travis@travisroth.com> writes: > Does anyone know of or use any math programs under Linux? > I have an old book that talks about Scilab and Pari, but these are > discussed as running under Xwindow. It really depends on what kind of mathematics you want to do. The matlab and mathematica as well as maple programs have a command-line interface you can use. Those programs are quite expensive though. I've recently attended a presentation of the program MuPad which is avaiable for Windows and Linux, and which was evaluated to be especially blind friendly under Windows. Since there is a Linux version with a command-line interface too, this should be quite useful. It is free to download AFAIK. Then, there is also GNU octave, which is known to resemble matlab in somewhat. You'll have to have a look at some of those, or explain a bit more in detail how much the program should actually be able to do. -- CYa, Mario _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
