Yeah, the foundation is there (hold arbitrary fractions, 64-bit decimals... other good things). What's the go-to tool for Mathematics? MatLab?

- xaa 9y agoEh, the simplified version is: - Engineers (like electrical etc) use Matlab - Statisticians use R - Rich people sometimes use Mathematica - People with some CS background use Python/numpy/sklearn For "purer" math, like symbolic differentiation and such, I don't really know any of those people, but I think Mathematica has a lot in that area. The others have stuff, but less developed. But pretty much every major language has linear algebra at this point.
- ludsan 9y agoSadists use sas
- cholantesh 9y agoWho, other than students forced to do so, uses Minitab?

- e12e 9y agoI would sort of expect Julia to be on the list for "good math language for people not quite happy with clojure". But it's much younger than the others listed, obviously.
- jtth 9y agoYou can run Mathematica functions within Clojure. https://github.com/gasc/Clojuratica https://github.com/gasc/Clojuratica
- alimw 9y agoDoes that still work?
