Hello, > I am an engineering student. And I was thinking if there is any software > for calculator which could have functions like matrices, solving > quadratic equations. Or basic that stores past calculations and ans. > Scilab understands matrices, vectors as already defined data types. It also understands polynomials. It has inbuilt functions to compute eigen values, eigen vectors of matrices, it can find determinant and inverse of the matrix. It can find roots of the polynomial. Real roots as well as complex roots of the polynomial( if exists).
It can remember previously calculated values as well as it allow user to store calculated results in text file. It understand numerical values for pi, e, i etc. Visit here for more details http://www.scilab.org/ > Please suggest. Or even if there are in windows which I can run using > wine. It works on Linux, Mac, and on windows. It is open source software which can be used as a calculator initially. And for advanced use afterwards.
