Hi Friends,
How do you rate Maxima and SciLab? Both are open source. :-\
Faithfully,
Timmy
Advice to math users -
Develope a hand calculated test case to check the accuracy of the SW. This
should be something like what you want to calculate.
A few years ago a SW company tried to sell the Engineers at GE Engine Control
Systems a do it all package. In front of the audience and Developers I put
up a test case with a trivial answer that was known as a truth. It failed
miserably due to errors in the input translation from the GUI to the real
calculations.
So before you use a Math Package build a test case - all you need is bad
answers to waste time, money or destroy machinery.
Sign on my wall - "To error is human it takes a computer to really foul things
up". !
I'm not being picky but just be careful in applying it.
Try "R" for fun and games.
How about a fast Fourier transform to convert time domain stuff to frequency
domain. Helps exercise the neurons.

Dear All SL User:
I found this mathematics software. It is very big in size (about 1GB
after extraction). It doesn't have any GUI. It only comes in Linux
binary, no windows binary.
Can anyone give some hint to using it and what task can it compute?? :-(

Hi Timmy,
If I remember correctly, Sage has indeed a GUI, but through a web
interface. See :
http://www.sagemath.org/tour-graphics.html
It is in fact a Python software mixing a lot of scientific tools (Numpy,
scipy, Matplotlib and so on...). It has indeed a windows version (why
not, it is Python, and web interface ?), and also for mac osx, solaris...
