Well can you give more info about these ports? Sounds like you want to do interprocess communication of some kind with the JVM? 1. How exactly would you setup the JVM? Will you need to wrap every Java class you want to use with some kind of

You forgot to mention Turing :) Turing doesnt get much space in school textbooks. And von Neumann too despite being one of the giants of mathematics in 20th century.

I would suggest looking into NumPy/SciPy instead of Matlab. Matlab has a very good library for numerical computation but in my experience, Matlab is absolutely terrible as a language for anything except matrix stuff. NumPy gives you a good
