Analytical Graphing and Visualisation

DPGraph: Dynamic Photorealistic 3D GraphsDPGraph: Dynamic Photorealistic 3D Graphing Software for Math and Physics Visualization
Graphing software to plot and explore Math FunctionsGraphing software is capable of plotting Cartesian, polar, table defined, as well as specialty graphs, such as trigonometric or exponential functions
Autograph Maths - Dynamic Classroom SoftwareAutograph is a plotting tool ideally suited to teaching and understanding statistics, calculus and geometry graphically. It will illustrate probability distributions, arbitrary matrix transforms, vector operations, first and second order differential equations. A free trial is available.
Math CalculatorMath help resources containing many calculators and solvers, from derivatives, integrals and graphical plots to simple equations, formulas and theorems, easy to follow examples and many entertaining math games and logic games.
3D GrapherAn application to plot and visualize 2D and 3D graphs from algebraic equations or tables of data. A fully functional trial version is available.

Data Graphing and Visualisation

DPlot Graph Software for Scientists and EngineersCreated by structural research engineer David Hyde, DPlot is a graphing package designed to handle very large datasets. It includes a wide range of plot types from common scatter and polar charts to probability and tripartite grids. The physical size of the graph can be specified by bounding box, axis extent or tick spacing. An add-in facilitates easy transfer of data from Microsoft Excel and a free viewer is available for sharing data with colleagues. A 30-day free trial can be downloaded from the DPlot website.

Numerical Analysis

SciLabAn open source platform for numerical computing supported by the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control Systems. Similar to Matlab and FreeMat.
FreeMatAn open-source program for data analysis. Similar to commercial software such as Matlab and IDL but available under the GPL license.
RA free software package for statistical computing.
MaximaAn open-source package for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions.

Modeling

Olive: Ray tracing for geometrical opticsOlive is a design tool for optical system layout. By tracing primary and marginal rays in real-time as you move optical components around, Olive provides a very intuitive interface. Olive comes with lens descriptions for Edmund Scientific products so it is very easy to build your designs.
Sun Position CalculatorThe Sun Position Calculator will calculate the position of the bottom and top of the Sun's rim, sunset and sunrise time at any geographical location (characterized by observational height, latitude and longitude) at any date (between 1900- 2100) and time. SPC will also indicate the twilight or when the Sun is not visible. A table with latitudes and longitudes, and GMT+ for some major cities around the world is also incorporated.
InfinityA program for modelling a wide variety of problems that can be described by mathematical expression (including differential equations).
