Ask HN: Matlab OR Mathematica?
I am looking to get started and learn a numerical computing environment. Any suggestions which one to start with?

Since you are learning there are core concepts/skills that you need to acquire and both tools can help you grow. As an electrical engineer I learned Matlab first, but later i needed to work with Mathematica down the road. My advice, start with the one that costs the least.
