Site License for Educational Version of Polymath 6.1 Available
Numerical Computation Package
About: “Polymath is a proven computational system that has been specifically created for professional and educational use. The various Polymath programs allow the user to apply effective numerical analysis techniques during interactive problem solving on personal computers. Results are presented graphically for easy understanding and for incorporation into papers and reports. Engineers, mathematicians, scientists, students, or anyone with a need to solve problems will appreciate the efficiency and speed of problem solution.
Improvements now include a new color-coded full-screen editor. Many displays have been optimized for user efficiency. Also provided with Polymath 6.1 is the new and UNIQUE capability to automatically export any Polymath problem to Excel with a single keypress. Thus problems can be solved completely in Polymath or exported to ExcelTM for solution. A Polymath ODE_Solver Add-In is included for solving ordinary differential equations in Excel. Automatic export to Excel includes all intrinsic functions and logical variables. Ordered equations can also be provided to assist with optional MatlabTM solutions of problems.
The Educational Version problem solving capabilities include:
- Linear Equations — up to 264 simultaneous equations
- Nonlinear Equations — up to 15 simultaneous nonlinear and 35 additional explicit algebraic
equations - Differential Equations — up to 25 simultaneous ordinary differential and 35 additional explicit
algebraic equations - Data analysis and Regression — up to 60 variables with up to 1200 data points for each, with
capabilities for linear, multiple linear, and nonlinear regressions with extensive statistics plus polynomial and spline fitting with interpolation and graphing capabilities”
