As far as graphing goes, Gnuplot coupled with Octave are the best I've ever come across.

Octave: http://www.octave.org/

They look a little too hardcore for my brain, plus command line drives me insane.

No links to add to the groaning table, so just a comment, with whatever weight it may have:
Applied Mathematics is what helps make a whole lot of the (modern) world go, and its applicability to something like Art or Music, or Literature, or any subject that I would guess many reading this would place firmly outside of the realm of Science, isn't just possible, it's been happening ever since we picked up a paintbrush, or started to create music and rhythm. I was surprised to see a comment (in the first post) about the surprise someone experienced when discovering that Music was a mathematical topic. But of course music (being a science of harmonies and sound and beat) is mathematical, and represents one of our earliest attempts to find order and meaning in the world...

There are many useful resources related to mathematics, available for free on the Internet. Among them, the following two are very useful in that they bring a good collection of links to educational videos on mathematics - including audio and video lectures and documentaries - to help learn mathematics in an interesting way.

1) Audio and video lectures on mathematics from colleges and universities.

2) Video lectures and documentaries on mathematics for a general audience.

A good resource is Encyclopaedia of Mathematics, edited by Michiel Hazewinkel. It is online and can be found here.

The Encyclopaedia of Mathematics is updated on a regular basis to remain a quick, precise source of reference to mathematical definitions, concepts, explanations, surveys, examples, terminology and methods, which will prove useful for all mathematicians and other scientists who encounter mathematics in their work.


I have personally used this Encyclopaedia many times. The entries are written by experts.

Your link didn't work for me but I googled the title and editor's name and got this...is this the one? (the URL ending is different to the one you provided):

http://eom.springer.de/

Looks like a good resource.
