[Quantian-general] R & Octave

[CalcPage at aol.com]

OK, so Octave is like MatLab, and Maxima is like Maple or Mathematica, and  R 
is like S.
 
This is all very interesting.  I wouldlove to expose my students some  of thi
s.  BTW, we do touch on vector calculus and even a little linear  algebra, 
MatLab will be very useful.
 
Also, do MatLab or R have any Computer Algebra System packages, ie: can  they 
do symbolic manipulations like Mathematica?  My students have some  
experience with this since we use TI-89s.
 
TIA,
AJG
