Prefered software packages and calculators

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around preferences for software and calculators used to solve various mathematical problems, including non-linear systems of equations, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), parameter estimation, differential calculus, and linear algebra. Participants share their preferred tools, indicating that for smaller problems, options like the HP 50g calculator, Excel spreadsheets, and Statistica are favored. For more advanced problems, Matlab and Scilab are commonly used, with Octave mentioned as a free alternative to Matlab. The conversation highlights the diversity of tools available for different levels of mathematical complexity.

Dear friends...

I am doing a little survey on how you/we solve our math problems, like... non-linear system of equations, system of ODE's, parameter estimation, differential calculus, linear algebra etc.

So, if you don't mind, could you please list one or 2 software packages or calculator of your preference?

I'll start:

smaller problems - HP 50g, Excel spreesheets, Statistica.
advanced problems - Matlab or Scilab

Thanks for your time.
