Mate Tusanga

Mate is a non-profit online mathematical tool focusing on simple symbolic and numerical calculations. It provides a small interpreted, dynamically typed programming language supporting among other datatypes, matrices, boleans, intervals, sets and fractions.

Mate came online in 2005, and is still under development. In comparison to professional math applications like Mathematica, it has very limited functionality.

Examples

A variable is allocated a value:

a := 3;

b := 2*a;

A function is defined:

f(x) := 2*x^2;

A vector is defined:

t := { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

y := f(t);

A graph is plotted:

plot(t,y);
