Any math programs for PPC

I am looking for a math program like MatLab that will run on the WM2003SE. Anyone know if there is such a thing?

Can you tell us what MatLab does? We might be able to help you out if we know exactly what you are looking for.

Matlab is a mathematical programming language and environment, optimized for matrix operations.

Nice find KPDUTY but do you know if works with the X50v Processor?

Yes, the arm version...

The concise answer is no and the likelyhood of one coming along isn't great either. There is a program that I like called Math Tablet (www.statsnow.net) that does some advanced features. It's more like Mathcad without the symbolic engine, 3D graphs, and "textbook like" math fonts. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best you can get on a Pocket pc these days.

It does handle matrices, vectors, complex numbers. stats, solves non-linear equation sets, unit conversions, 2D graphs, worksheets/scripts, & the basic features of a scientific calculator. There are some work sheets that are helpful in control systems. Granted, you won't be able to a great deal of heavy lifting in controls systems like Matlab's Simulink but the scripts are much better than nothing at all.

Antcom makes an awesome program called MathCal. It can do integration, differentiation, tons of matrice operations and 3d graphing. It may not be quite as intuitive for matrices as MatLab, but you're also not working with a full size keyboard, so that's to be expected. I'd have a look at it. It's above and beyond the best calculator program I've found yet, and costs $35, which is a pittance compared the $200+ for a TI89 or simliliar dedicated calculator (the 'free' versions have all the good features locked...they're pretty useless)

Sadly I've not had much luck with Matlab clones for the pocketpc, but there are a few CAS that work pretty well. Here's a short list I just drew up:

Matlab Clones:
===============

FnattLabME:
http://webuser.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/FnattLabME/
[Needs CLDC-1.1/MIDP-2.0 compliant Java runtime - No luck yet]
PDAcalc Matrix:
http://www.adacs.com/menu/PDAcalc_matrix.php
[I've never used it, but I used to use CplxCalPro back in my palm days - wrote some code for it too]

Computer Algebra Systems:
=========================

Port of Yacas (http://yacas.sourceforge.net/)
http://www.pocket-software.de.vu/ (Currently down)
Port of giac (http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/giac.html)
http://www.phatsoft.net/format.php?p...t.xsl&id=QDCAS
Hartmath (http://www.hartmath.org/) with a CE redesigned interface:
http://www.pitt.edu/~jrmst106/hmce.html
[Needs java installed, try this one: http://cs.nmu.edu/~SeniorProjects/ik...awince.arm.CAB)
Port of Maxima (http://maxima.sourceforge.net/):
http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/maxima-ce.html
[Doesn't work for me in WM2003]
Port of GPari (http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/):
http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/gpari.html
Port of Jacal (http://www.swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/jacal.html):
http://www.symbolictools.de/public/p.../scm/index.htm
[Doesn't work for me in WM2003SE]

Free Calculators:
=================

I prefer eval (http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/#Eval%201.0)

Things to watch for someday:
============================
