Projects

gnuplot

gnuplot plots 2d and 3d graphs, from a data file or with a formula. It has an interactive mode with online help, or it can be used non-interactively. gnuplot does function fitting to data sets, and it does output to many terminals, among which are PostScript, X11 display, PNG, and GIF (via the old gd library).

GNU Octave

Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.

Maxima -- GPL CAS based on DOE-MACSYMA

Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and tensors. Maxima yields high ... [More] precision numeric results by using exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and variable precision floating point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions. The Maxima source code can be compiled on many systems, including Windows, Linux, and MacOS X. The source code for all systems and precompiled binaries for Windows and Linux are available at the SourceForge file manager. [Less]

Sage: Open Source Mathematics Software

Sage is mathematical software, very much in the same vein as MATLAB, MAGMA, Maple, and Mathematica. Unlike these systems, every component of Sage is GPL-compatible. The interpretative language of Sage is Python, a mainstream programming language. Use Sage for studying a huge range of mathematics ... [More] , including algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and exact linear algebra. It is available for download from sagemath.org and its mirrors in source or binary form. If you have any questions and/or problems please report them to the Google groups sage-devel or sage-support. You can also drop by in #sagemath on freenode IRC. [Less]

GSL - GNU Scientific Library

The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. The library provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total with an extensive test suite.

wxMaxima

wxMaxima is a cross-platform graphical front-end for the computer algebra system Maxima based on wxWidgets. It provides nice display of mathematical output and easy access to Maxima functions through menus and dialogs.

QtOctave

QtOctave is a front-end for Octave. Octave is a high-level language for numerical computations, like Matlab.

Kig

claimed by KDE

Kig is a program for exploring geometric constructions. It is meant as a better replacement for such free programs as KGeo, KSeg and Dr. Geo and commercial programs like Cabri. Kig is meant as a useful and powerful utility for high school students and teachers.

KmPlot

claimed by KDE

KmPlot is a mathematical function plotter. It has a powerful parser built in. You can plot different functions simultaneously and combine their function terms to build new functions. KmPlot supports functions with parameters and functions in polar coordinates. Several grid modes are possible. Plots ... [More] may be printed with high precision in correct scale. Features * powerful mathematical parser * precise metric printing * different plot types (functions, parametric, polar) * highly configurable visual settings (plot line, axes, grid) * export to bitmap format (BMP and PNG) and scalable vector graphics (SVG) * save/load complete session in readable xml format * trace mode: cross hair following plot, coordinates shown in the status bar support zooming and more.

Atlas

The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is an ongoing research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in order to provide portable performance. It provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.
