Hi Folks,
I just had a visit from a Senior Technical Evangelist (that's really his title) from Mathworks. He suggested that I try Mupad, a symbolic math program that sits on top of the Matlab Symbolics Toolbox. Has anyone else tried it?
It's still a command line kind of interface, but friendlier than the '>>' familiar to Matlab users. I have used Matlab since the early 90s and mostly like it - very handy for big number crunching tasks.
To run it, all I had to do was type in 'mupad' from the command line. I think it requires the Symbolics Toolbox, though.
