GOBLIN is a C++ class library focussed on graph optimization and network
programming problems. It deals with all of the standard graph optimization
problems discussed by textbooks and in courses on combinatorial optimization.
Today, GOBLIN provides strongly polynomial algorithms for the following graph
optimization problems:
- Shortest paths in graphs and digraphs with negative lengths.
- Negative cycles and minimum mean cycles.
- Strong and 2-connected components.
- Minimum spanning trees, arborescences and 1-trees.
- Maximum st-flows, feasible circulations and b-flows.
- Min-cost st-flows, b-flows and circulations.
- Assignment problems of any kind.
- 1-matchings, b-matchings, capacitated b-matchings, f-factors and
degree-constrained subgraphs.
- Directed and undirected Chinese postman problems, T-joins.
The library also includes methods for NP-hard problems, namely TSP, ATSP,
stable sets and graph colouring.
Fityk is a program for nonlinear fitting of analytical functions
(especially peak-shaped) to data (usually experimental data). There are
also people using it only to display data or to remove baseline from
data.
It is reported to be used in crystallography, chromatography,
photoluminescence, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and other fields.
Fityk knows about common peak-shaped functions (Gaussian, Lorentzian,
Voigt, Pearson VII, bifurcated Gaussian, EMG, Doniach-Sunjic, etc.) and
polynomials. It also supports user-defined functions.
Fityk offers intuitive graphical interface (and also command line
interface), variouse optimization methods (standard Marquardt
least-square algorithm, Genetic Algorithms, Nelder-Mead simplex),
equality constraints, modelling error of x coordinate of points (eg.
zero-shift of instrument), handling series of datasets, automation of
common tasks with scripts, and more.
Mpexpr adds two new commands to Tcl, 'mpexpr' and 'mpformat'. Mpexpr works
much like Tcl's native 'expr', but does all calculations using an arbitrary
precision math package. Mpexpr numbers can be any number of digits, with any
decimal precision. Final precision is controlled by a Tcl variable
'mp_precision', which can be any reasonable integer, limiting only the
number of digits to the right of the decimal point.
Mpformat works much like Tcl's 'format', except it formats multiple
precision numbers in a variety of formats.
Mpexpr also includes most math functions provided by 'expr', as well
as several new functions. Mpexpr also supports Tcl variables and
nested evaluation, just like 'expr':
GiNaC is an iterated and recursive acronym for GiNaC is Not a CAS,
where CAS stands for Computer Algebra System. It is designed to allow
the creation of integrated systems that embed symbolic manipulations
together with more established areas of computer science (like
computation-intense numeric applications, graphical interfaces, etc.)
under one roof.
GRPN is a RPN calculator for the X Window system built using
the GIMP Toolkit (GTK).
GRPN works with real numbers, complex numbers, matrices, and
complex matrices. Numbers can be displayed in 4 different
radix modes, and complex numbers can be displayed in either
Cartesian or polar form.
PDL (``Perl Data Language'') gives standard perl the ability to
COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data
arrays which are the bread and butter of scientific computing.
The idea is to turn perl in to a free, array-oriented, numerical
language in the same sense as commerical packages like IDL and
MatLab. One can write simple perl expressions to manipulate entire
numerical arrays all at once. For example, using PDL the perl variable
$a can hold a 1024x1024 floating point image, it only takes 4Mb of
memory to store it and expressions like $a=sqrt($a)+2 would manipulate
the whole image in a few seconds.
A simple interactive shell (perldl) is provided for command line use
together with a module (PDL) for use in perl scripts.
FreeMat is a free environment for rapid engineering and scientific
prototyping and data processing. It is similar to commercial systems
such as MATLAB from Mathworks, and IDL from Research Systems, but is
Open Source.
The dynamic mathematics software Geonext establishes new ways of teaching and
learning mathematics. It offers opportunities of visualisation that can't be
realised on paper or blackboard and with traditional construction tools.
Geonext enables autonomous and cooperative learning of mathematics in the
classroom. It encourages an active discovering approach to mathematical
thinking. Geonext can be used at school and at home for free (GPL).
Therefore the software can be handed out to students without any copyright
problems (GPL).
Geonext can be used from elementary school up to calculus at high school and
in teacher-training at university in a manifold and flexible way.

GGobi is an open source visualization program for exploring high-dimensional
data. It provides highly dynamic and interactive graphics such as tours, as
well as familiar graphics such as the scatterplot, barchart and parallel
coordinates plots. Plots are interactive and linked with brushing and
identification.
JEuclid is a complete MathML rendering solution, consisting of: a MathViewer
application, command line converters from MathML to other formats, an ant
task for autmated conversion, display components for AWT and Swing and a
component for Apache Cocoon.
