Polymath software

I have pointed out two fine bands as examples of interesting pop culture uses of polymath, but the most well known modern use of the term is probably Polymath software. According to its website:


POLYMATH is a proven computational system that has been specifically created for educational or professional 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.

The Professional Version problem-solving capabilities include:

• Linear Equations - up to 264 simultaneous equations
• Nonlinear Equations - up to 300 simultaneous nonlinear and 300 additional explicit algebraic equations
• Differential Equations - up to 300 simultaneous ordinary differential and 300 additional explicit algebraic equations
• Data analysis and Regression - up to 200 variables with up to 1000 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

I haven't needed to do any of that stuff in decades, but, if I did, I would get this software.
