dc.description.abstractTHERE ARE SEVERAL NUMERICAL COMPUTATIONAL packages that serve as educational tools and are available for commercial use. MATLAB (www.mathworks.com) is the most widely used of these packages. MATLAB is used in many courses at UMBC and in a wide range of disciplines, but many of these courses only utilize the basic features of the software that require limited computer power. It would be valuable to students to have a free alternative with the necessary features that can be used on a laptop or home computer.
