I use J for calculations in algebraic topology. I calculate the homology of simplicial complexes, in particular, the Rips complex. I also use J to calculate the algebraic connectivity of graphs. I use pure J for the most part, with LAPACK for SVD and eigenvalue computations. See the thread http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2006-July/002835.html for some of these issues, including an excellent contribution from R.E. Boss.
