Math programs such as Maple, Matlab, and Origin are super expensive(atleast for a student…) so i did some searching around for some open source gems that will do teh trick just as well for your mathamatical mind within…
GNU Octave and Scilab: these two programs are just about identical to matlab, but i have favored octave since its gnu’er
R: this is basicly a clone of origin
Mathomatic: idk where this should be classified but it sure is nifty for derivatives to algebraic manipulation…
I have found that these programs work great for the engineer within!!!
