   Stable (slow but steady growth)

   I've been using Maxima since my undergraduate (over 10 years), now with Ubuntu20.04 lts, I become a newbie of SageMath. For a small project (both symbolical and numerical), in particular, student lab activities, Maxima has been a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing data. (The Android version is also fantastic, but the poor keyboard.)

   Mathematica is always enemy/friend. (My coworkers are all Mathematica speakers.)

   🏁 Competitors: Wolfram Mathematica

   👍 Pros:    Easy for cli user|Lithghter

   👎 Cons:    Good for advanced users of computers (cli is sometimes hard for newbie)|Hard to find official references, tutors, etc

• Integral Calculator

  I think the really neat piece of software behind this is maxima (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/), a rather influential computer algebra system of ancient lineage still in use today in more place than you might think. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Rye: Homoiconic dynamic programming language with some new ideas

  In the maxima computer algebra system[1] which was ancestrally based on lisp it has a single quote operator[2] which delays evaluation of something and a "double quote" (which acually two single quotes rather than an actual double quote) operator[3] which asks maxima to evaluate some expression immediately rather than leaving it in symbolic form.[4] [1] https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ [2]... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Where is the system model for human nutrition and digestion?

  I'm looking into free to use online simulation and collaboration software such as https://insightmaker.com/ and will start digging into it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Fools Stop Mysticizing System Dynamics

  I created a fairly popular system dynamics modeling applications back when I was a grad student [0]. When using modeling tools like system dynamics, it's useful to keep in mind George Box's quote that "All models are wrong, but some are useful". When using a modeling tool to describe any form of social system you're creating an imperfect copy of it. This imperfect copy embeds what the modeler (rightly or wrongly)... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to Safely Think in Systems

  Some other commenters here seem to think this article is (or should have been?) an introduction to systems thinking, or an argument for using it. The article is explicitly framed as some advice, based in experience, on avoiding common pitfalls with using explicit models in systems thinking. As such I think it is a nice read. It is also full of links to other interesting work by the author, not least of which is a... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
