matlab/octave, python, r cross reference

while learning to use Python as an alternative to MATLAB,
i've started working on a cross reference showing
equivalent commands in MATLAB/Octave, Python (with Numeric
and matplotlib) and R. examples are provided for plotting
commands.

still draft quality, though, but i'm interested in input
from other users of Python for number crunching and data
visualization. (i've also been wondering about including
Maple, Axiom, Maxima equivalent commands, although these
are computer algebra systems, as it seems these packages
also have numeric capabilities.)

the reference is available as a PDF for printing and XML:

Hi,

while learning to use Python as an alternative to MATLAB,
i've started working on a cross reference showing
equivalent commands in MATLAB/Octave, Python (with Numeric
and matplotlib) and R. examples are provided for plotting
commands.

Thank you very much for this excellent resource.

from other users of Python for number crunching and data
visualization. (i've also been wondering about including
Maple, Axiom, Maxima equivalent commands, although these
are computer algebra systems, as it seems these packages
also have numeric capabilities.)

If we want to contribute, what is the best way to do this? Edit the
XML document and send patches?

Thanks again,

Matthew

More natural choices might be
- GAUSS
- PDL
- SciLab
- Lush
- Yorick
- Algae
- A+

And perhaps Mathematica, given rumors I've recently heard
about greater ease in doing linear algebra in the recent
version.

Cheers,
Alan Isaac
