[Blindmath] Computational software

[John Gardner]

Hello listers, may I request your expertise on computational math applications. I am told that MatLab is reasonably accessible in command line mode. Can you recommend other numerical computation software that is powerful, accessible, and less expensive than MatLab? Secondly I would appreciate recommendations for symbolic solution applications such as Maple and Mathematica. I have used both of these and found Maple in particular to be quite accessible in command line mode. But I have not done such work in many years and fear that their accessibility is not as good now.

I am asking because Summer University presenters want to have workshops on both types of math application, but none of us is a real expert on these apps. FYI Summer University is a workshop associated with the ICCHP conference held in July in Linz, Austria. It is intended to teach blind students and professionals working with blind students about modern techniques for accessing STEM. If you can afford a trip to Austria, anyone in either of these categories is welcome to apply. Information on Summer University  is linked from the ICCP web site http://icchp.org

Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
