Matlab is another great technology that i was exposed to while i was in school…it is primarily science/physics/math oriented. It allows you to computer ridiculously hard equations without thinking…all you have to do is learn the language of the program. It could be very helpful in the classroom, it would have to be advance classrooms though because its not simple program. After you learn the “language” like i said you can solve equations, predict future happenings from the equations etc. the easiest way to describe it is as a very advance calculator, almost a thinking calculator.  The software also allows you to produce in depth and acurate graphs/charts etc.etc. If your interested in science/physics its pretty impressive!!   http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/mathworks.com/products/matlab/    there is the link to the best page that i have found…it offers some free trial subscriptions, and some free student software…..again i dont really have a picture of “Matlab” since it is just a software program but here is a picture of what the program looks like when you are in the middle of a run…..its ugly.  and the next shot is of a typical graph made with matlab….much more appealing..

 >> eps
    eps =

          2.2204e-16
    >> pi
    ans =

          3.1416

    >> help pi

    PI     3.1415926535897….
           PI = 4*atan(1) = imag(log(-1)) = 3.1415926535897….

Yes, thats really what the program looks like……i said it was ugly, but brilliant!!

New: The visualisation has been updated, now it looks like this:

MATLAB World Generation Screenshot 2

this is the type of visuals that you can create with the program though,,,,i think its worth is!!
