***Note -- Matlab has open source alternatives...scilab and octave
see http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~stephens/NUM/MATLAB/matlabanalogues.html
see the page above for relevant links
***if you have your own personal copy of matlab or
octave check out
www.mathworks.com/moler
suggested downloads are the .pdf chapters of his book
and NCM files
