Free mathematica software for mac

Mathematica 4.2 is an effective math solving, visualization & programming. From simple calculator operations to large-scale programming and interactive document preparation, Mathematica is the tool of choice at the frontiers of scientific research, in engineering analysis and modeling, in technical education from high school to graduate school, and wherever quantitative methods are used.

MathReader is a viewer for notebook documents created with Mathematica, the worlds only fully integrated technical computing system.

MathReader lets you display and print Mathematica notebooks, animate graphics, play sounds, and copy information from notebooks to other documents. MathReader can be used by most web browsers as a helper application for viewing notebook documents.

To create, edit, and print notebooks, you need the Mathematica front end. To do computations within a Mathematica notebook, you need the full Mathematica system with both the front end and the kernel.

Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and tensors.

Maxima is a tool that yields high precision numeric results by using exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and arbitrarily precision floating point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions.

The Maxima source code can be compiled on many systems, including Windows, Linux, and MacOS X. The source code for all systems and precompiled binaries for Windows and Linux are available at the SourceForge file manager.

Maxima is a descendant of Macsyma, the legendary computer algebra system developed in the late 1960s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is the only system based on that effort still publicly available and with an active user community, thanks to its open source nature.

Macsyma was revolutionary in its day, and many later systems, such as Maple and Mathematica, were inspired by it.

The Maxima branch of Macsyma was maintained by William Schelter from 1982 until he passed away in 2001. In 1998 he obtained permission to release the source code under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

It was his efforts and skill which have made the survival of Maxima possible, and we are very grateful to him for volunteering his time and expert knowledge to keep the original DOE Macsyma code alive and well. Since his passing a group of users and developers has formed to bring Maxima to a wider audience.

Engauge Digitizer is a tool that converts an image file showing a graph or map, into numbers. The image file can come from a scanner, digital camera or screenshot. The numbers can be read on the screen, and written or copied to a spreadsheet.
The process starts with an image file containing a graph or map. The final result is digitized data that can be used by other tools such as Microsoft Excel and Gnumeric.
Main features:
- Automatic curve tracing of line plots
- Automatic point matching of point plots
- Automatic axes matching
- Automatic grid line removal for improved curve tracing
- Handles cartesian, polar, linear and logarithmic graphs
- Support for drag-and-drop and copy-and-paste makes data transfer fast and easy
- Image processing tools highlight data by removing grid lines and backgrounds
- Status bar suggestions guide beginners
- Context sensitive popup help windows reveal explain feature of the user interface
- Tutorials with pictures explain strategies for common operations
- Browser-based user manual is extensive yet easy to navigate
- Preview windows give immediate feedback while modifying settings
- Dates and times are imported with the Date/Time Converter
- Import support for common image file formats such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG and XPM
- Export support for common software packages such as Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice CALC, gnuplot, gnumeric, MATLAB and Mathematica
- Engauge is available for a wide variety of platforms
- Engauge Digitizer is completely open source and free courtesy of Sourceforge, Trolltech and FFTW
Enhancements:
- the ability to move selected points using the arrow keys.
