Hello, everybody.
I am a university student of mathematics and physics and have been using
Debian GNU/Linux for about 4 years since I was in senior high.
At present I want to make use of the scientific packages in Debian to
optimize my study as well as research (seminar). I have read some
manuals on Octave, Maxima, Axiom, and TeXmacs, tried something out. But
I still don't have a general concept of scientific computing (or maybe
this saying "scientific computing" is itself wrongly used?).
So I subscribed on this list, but I find that the topics around are too
specific for me.
Is there an FAQ of this list?
Could you please recommend some tutorials on how to establish a
scientific computing environment, esp. for physicists and
mathematicians, for study and research?
And what packages are best for starting?
Or some advice for me to avoid useless and time-consuming
trying-and-discarding newbie loops?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.
