Math Software

[Mobasher Sobhan]

Are there any Mathematics software that comes Unix(s) or Linux(s)?
Softwares that compare to Mathematica, Maple etc?

Maple 7 is available for Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, AIX, Digital UNIX / Tru64,
and linux (`redhat and suze distributions').

Mathlab 6.1 is available for AIX, Digital UNIX, HPUX, IRIX, LINUX and Solaris.

Mathematica 4.1 is available for linux/i386, /alpha and /ppc, Solaris,
DEC AXP/Tru64 Unix, HP-UX, AIX, and IRIX.

Anyone tried to run any in emulation mode on *BSD?

There are GNU/Linux versions of Mathematica, Matlab and Maple but off
course this is not free software.

You have GNU octave which is a high level language for numerical
computations mostly compatible with Matlab, developed by Jhon W. Eaton
(http://www.octave.org). There are other possibilities like Scilab,
Tela and Perl PDL.

For symbolic computations there is an Emacs mode called 'calc´ that
allows some symbolic computations. Otherwise, there is MuPAD
http://www.mupad.de/, it´s non-free but I think they give personal
licenses.

A good place to look is http://sal.kachinatech.com/

Maple runs quite nicely on FreeBSD. I have seen it in
action under 3.3 and also more recently on the early
4.x versions. I have seen posts to freebsd-questions
about people running mathlab under the emulation also.

Hi,

There is Maxima http://www.ma.utexas.edu/maxima.html which is an actual
derivative of Macsyma. There are also various graphical frontends for this
package.

And hence Macsyma is an integral of Maxima.
Anyhow, a new page for Maxima is
http://maxima.sourceforge.net
