Engineering Calculation Software
(OP)
Hello All,
I would like to some advice on engineering calculations software. Is there any cheaper (or even free) alternatives to MathCAD and something that can offer better presentation and error checking facilities than excel.
Thanks

also www.octave.org www.scilab.org for two more traditional packages that are fast and stable.

The main points were:
Maxima is included in the Euler download, and seems to be integrated with Euler.
Wikipedia has a good comparative table:

Does anyone use a free programme that does cope with engineering units (e.g. m, Kg, etc).
My main purpose for using the software at the moment is for engineering calculations with formulas.

I also really like the TI-89T handheld calculator and the PC-based software you can get for it. You basically type in an equation and pick "SOLVE" from a drop-down menu. Then, if you don't give it numbers to work with, it solves it in the form of an expression in terms of whatever alpha-numeric variable you want.
Frightening.
