Thanks to every body
 I know scilab and octave,
but this seems doing some special features.
Anyway I want to use it,
for example to install scilab , you 've just to select from the synaptic,
scilab and that 's it.
I want to do  something like this, I somebody has an experience on this
software.
Thanks a lot again.

Not very succesfully. The OP appears to know what he wants but is
undecided which one of the meep* packages he wants, My advice is to
install meep and go from there. He can always uninstall it and go for
another related package if it is not suitable.

Why suggest something completely different from what the OP wants?

Others may follow that. I don't.

We are all fallible. Its just that some are more fallible than others. :)

I can't answer your explicit question.


So why respond?



Because I not only *READ* his question but attempted to 
understand why he asked.

I then did some research and concluded that
  1. Scilab and/or Maxima may work
  2. Both are packaged in such a way as to circumvent what I 
suspect is a problem.

  3. I also avoid speaking *EX CATHEDRA*

So why respond?

True.

He should stick his neck out and install meep. Nothing is irreversible
and there are three or four other packages to go at if it does not do
what he wants.

Are we due for a cylone? I was looking forward to a picnic tomorrow.

I can't answer your explicit question.
However both Scilab and Maxima are in the Debian repository.
Would one of them solve an immediate problem?
I suspect they be slower than a purpose built package.
But they do say "any port in a storm".
