Maxima is great! The following may also be quite useful: http://www.scipy.org/ http://code.google.com/p/sympy/ http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ If you prefer an integrated environment, try: http://sagemath.org/ -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
