Matlab
- To run Matlab with its own GUI (pretty but slow), just type: matlab .
- To run Matlab without a GUI (fast), type: matlab -nojvm.
- Here are some great tutorials:
- Sometimes, you'll need a Unix style shell script to execute a
Matlab script (program) non-interactively (i.e. the user does not have to
intervene). Here is an example named hi.sh that runs the
Matlab script hi.m non-interactively.
Maple
- To run Maple with its own GUI, type: xmaple. Even though the GUI
version is slower than the non-GUI version, it's CPU-effort well spent since
the various mathematical symbols are much easier to read in the GUI version.
- To run Maple without a GUI (use this if you are connecting remotely from
a non Linux/Unix machine), type: maple.
- For a great tutorial, open Maple in the GUI mode, and click on Help.
Grace
- To run, type: xmgrace.
- For the manual, look at
Grace Home. It includes a good tutorial.
