Octave (www.octave.org) might be closer to MATLAB
than Scilab.


Wow, open source? That's really neat.
I'll have to try it when I get home...

Anyone know of an open-source clone of Mathematica?
Or is that too much to hope for... ;) ?

Don't know, but maybe Maxima
(http://maxima.sourceforge.net/index.shtml)
might fill the bill?

Ooh, I'll have to try that, thanks!

In school, we had Mathematica workstations in several of the
engineering computer labs. One of the more memorable tasks I had a
workstation do was to solve a system of nonlinear equations - about 100
of them (for sizing a distillation column).

Thanks,

An Actual sign of progress in the software world, In my father's day all
there was was Fortran and linpack in batch (overnight). Not quite the
same.
