[edit] Numerical Software
Numerical Software, can be thought of a cross between a very powerful scientific calculator and a programming language. Some are also capable of performing symbolic manipulations and are known as Computer Algebra Systems. Many of these programs can output results in various forms, such as tables, graphs, and even sounds or animations.
[edit] MATLAB
[edit] GNU Octave
GNU Octave is a GPLed (open source) MATLAB workalike that can be installed on Unix, OSX, and Windows.

[edit] Mathematica
Mathematica is available for students at the semi-modest price of $139.95.
Developed and used by Steven Wolfram, author of A New Kind of Science.
Sponge Nebson's personal favorite, but unfortunately quite expensive for non-students.
Download and purchase mathematica for students (student ID required)
