Talk:Comparison of numerical analysis software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Operting system

The table of operating system support was pointless as every software supported every OS except a couple that didn't have BSD support, which is very obscure. Wordsoup (talk) 18:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

BSD and unix support isn't that obscure for numerical software--these programs can be run on clusters and shared-time machines that may run an alternative OS. Further: this doesn't comprehensively list ALL numerical analysis programs & the table may hold even more value when some of that other software is added. --Karnesky (talk) 18:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
