Math Software Packages for Windows & Linux: Updated List & Resources

AI Thread Summary
Major math software packages available for Windows and Linux include Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB, with additional noteworthy options such as Maxima, a free alternative, and Octave, a MATLAB clone for Linux. For authoritative lists and resources on software for math, physics, and engineering, users can refer to online platforms like the one provided (http://www.sai.msu.su/sal/A/). Monthly magazines and specialized online resources can also be valuable for staying updated on the latest software developments in these fields.

For the Windows and/or Linux platforms, I am trying to get a handle on what major math software packages exist today. At one time, I recall there being Maple, Mathematica and MatLab. No doubt the list of worthwhile packages has grown since then.

Anyone know of an authoritative list of what exists for what purposes?

What would be a good source, such as a monthly magazine or on-line resource, to read about software packages for math, physics and engineering?

Thread 'Windows 10 Now Not Supported'

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...

Thread 'Another trick with Blender'

After playing around a bit with making star maps, I found another video which introduced me to another trick that can be done using geometry nodes. This one involves fluids. For background, Blender has a fluid physics simulator, which, as the name suggests simulates the behavior of fluids. What this person did was to use geometry nodes to convert the fluid into a point cloud. Then he added a turbulence force field to "stir it around". He was then able to extract the velocity information...

Thread 'Cooling a processor chip'

I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
