Freely available Mathematical and Scientific Software for Linux.

Mark Spink writes

Linux is widely used within Universities and other research
establishments for scientific and engineering research and
development. The spin-off of all this work are a fantastic
number of technical applications that are freely available
to the general public.

In this talk I will give you a little taster of some of the
software packages that are available and might be of
interest to a wider audience. I will concentrate on those
packages for which I have had some direct experience and try
to show examples of MATLAB equivalent packages, Electrical
analysis and PCB design packages, Data Visualization
Software, Computer Aided Design and Analysis tools.

Don't worry you won't need a Degree in Mathematics or
Engineering to understand this talk.

General Discussion:

LINUX - User Information, Question and Answers

WYLUG - what, who, when (and why :-)
Especially what happens at future meetings!

followed by beer at the Londoner Pub
