Mathematics Software for Linux


There are at least two sites which have a very detailed list of mathematics software available for Linux. Both of these pages are very complete and highly recommended.

Symbolic - Able to manipulate equations with unbound variables. Useful for algebraic/trigonometric simplification, arbitrary differentiation, limited indefinite integration.


Numerical - Manipulates numbers only. Powerful calculator. Typically handles matricies, numeric integration, FFT, signal processing. We have a table which compares the features of the free packages.


Statistics & Data Visualization - Able to operate on large data sets and compute statistics efficiently. Can perform data modeling by least squares, etc. Able to present data graphically.

Image Processing -
