Paper Abstract:
|
The purpose of this paper is to present some of the most well-known commercial and open source software for mathematical computer programming. Specifically, the commercial programs which will be presented are Maple, Mathematica and Matlab and the open source software are Octave and Scilab. These software packages are mainly used by scientists and software engineers. The strengths and weaknesses of these programs are detailed described through the chapters of this paper. Finally, there is a speed comparison of some frequently used algorithms, procedures and operations which are build-in functions of these mathematical programming environments. |
