New free mathematical software

I haven't tried it yet as it is a 627M download, and I'm on dialup. It's a Python based toolkit, I think, with powerful interoperability, and the capability of writing nice looking equations.
Other open source options include the excellent Scilab, Octave and Maxima. Scilab's very similar to Matlab, but not identical in syntax. Grr

Python is a scripting language that is distributed with Linux. It is available for everything else, but probably, you will have to install that too.
I will look into it.
Octave is also a mathematical language that is often distributed with Linux. There are Windows binaries for it.

I just remembered something interesting. I read somewhere that Python was created as a math language. It is used extensively for all sorts of stuff now, but I think the original purpose was math.

The easy solution is to just install it on my Linux messabout machine. I don't know if I can face another gargantuan download!

Those, worried about linux, have you tried "dual boot" for linux? Give it a google, it might be what your looking for.
