Hi Dipankar: You like R, don't you? I too like R and have been using it for the last five years. Love it. Also, if you are into R, be sure to check out omegahat project (http://www.omegahat.org). People who like R also often like/use these other ones I outline below. Which ones have you guys tried?
Algae [http://algae.sourceforge.net] Basis [http://basis.llnl.gov] Cactus [http://www.cactuscode.org] Euler [http://mathsrv.ku-eichstaett.de/MGF/homes/grothmann/euler/] {Check out this one, if you like Matlab!} Gnatlab [http://www.osl.iu.edu/research/gnatlab/] {another good one, recommendded} Lush [http://lush.sourceforge.net/] {You'll really like it if you like R} NCAR Command Language [http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/index.shtml] {Great for visualization and manipulation of data} NumArray [http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/numarray] {I haven't tried it, but it looked good} NumExp {already discussed in the list} Octave [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/] {Another great} PSILAB [http://psilab.sourceforge.net/] RLAB [http://rlab.sourceforge.net/] {Check it out if you like NumExp} SciLab [http://scilabsoft.inria.fr/index.php] {Again, a very good package!} Enjoy! /Arin Basu --- dipankar das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 18 April 2006 10:16, Sankarshan > Mukhopadhyay wrote: > > NumExp is a family of open-source applications for > numeric computation. > > When it was created, the idea was to make a > powerfull tool like > > Mathematica.
