[comp.sys.acorn] Maths programs for desktop

Are there any programs that provides facilities similar to
Mathematica running on the Mac? Such as equation solving, graphing
etc?

I remember that one of the Archive disks had something to do with 
maths applicatons, but were they all cli versions?

Mathematica for the arc.

Well when I went to the BAU show in September I got talking to
a chap from CC & he sais he knew someone that was codeing mathematica
in ARM coded (wow!) - but I have not seen anything of it yet
(dream on!)

As to the Archive Maths disc, well it has a few useful progs but it
is mainly routine that you need to work on to make them do what
you want (there is a fairly quick mc FFT which I am at the mo using
to build a filter system for the Multipod sound sampler to get rid of
the noise. - that is unless anyone else out there has done it allready?)

You might want to try Reduce 3. I believe it is available from CodeMist
(aka. Norcroft). It is an algebraic munging system written in Lisp. It does
not draw graphs. I believe you need a hard disc to run it.
