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]

AbulEdu LeTerrier

“Le Terrier d'AbulÉdu” covers a series of free software meant for schools and colleges : they have been created one by one, for the last past ten years, by teachers for other teachers. Since they were iniatilly meant to fit the AbulEdu networks, they are basically compatible with Debian ... [More] and Ubuntu, nearly always with GNU/Linux as well as Microsoft Windows, and partly with MacOS. Their specificity lies in the way they have been developped : instead of being a one-way work, each of them is the result of numerous exchanges, often for months, between teachers and developpers. Here is the reason why the abuledu-fr association has been created, in order to keep in touch with users and to maintain a strong link between both communities. [Less]

Gravit

Gravit is a gravity simulator which runs under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. It's released under the GNU General Public License which makes it free. It uses Newtonian physics using the Barnes-Hut N-body algorithm. Although the main goal of Gravit is to be as accurate as possible, it also creates ... [More] beautiful looking gravity patterns. It records the history of each particle so it can animate and display a path of its travels. At any stage you can rotate your view in 3D and zoom in and out. Gravit uses OpenGL with Lua, SDL, SDL_ttf and SDL_image. [Less]

SOFA - Simulation Framework

SOFA is an Open Source framework primarily targeted at real-time simulation, with an emphasis on medical simulation. It is mostly intended for the research community to help develop newer algorithms, but can also be used as an efficient prototyping tool. Based on an advanced software architecture ... [More] , it allows to: Create complex and evolving simulations by combining new algorithms with algorithms already included in SOFA Modify most parameters of the simulation – deformable behavior, surface representation, solver, constraints, collision algorithm, etc. – by simply editing an XML file Build complex models from simpler ones using a scene-graph description Efficiently simulate the dynamics of interacting objects using abstract equation solvers Reuse and compare a variety available methods [Less]

FreeMat

FreeMat is a free environment for rapid engineering and scientific prototyping and data processing. It is similar to commercial systems such as MATLAB from Mathworks, and IDL from Research Systems, but is Open Source. FreeMat is available under the GPL license.

igraph library

This is another library for creating and manipulating graphs. There is simply no other graph library out there which can be handle graphs of the size the author is confronted with efficiently. Whenever possible igraph tries to be also user friendly and portable. igraph started as an additional ... [More] package to the GNU R statistical environment, and still some functions which are hard to implement in C are available only in R (like interactive graphics). Most functions are however now written in C and they can be compiled without R as a separate library. [Less]

xmds

XMDS is a code generator that integrates equations. You write them down in human readable form in a XML file, and it goes away and writes and compiles a C++ program that integrates those equations as fast as it can possibly be done in your architecture.

OpenMaLi

Set of open, reliable, math functions in classes (=collections by domains) designed to be used from any project/library, with any data-structure. In other words, all the things you usually rewrite for each project. But coded with universality in mind. The most important package is the ... [More] org.openmali.vecmath2 one, which contains an improved vecmath - similar to Sun's vecmath, but better, faster and more convenient. [Less]
