Actually, for programming problems with linear solutions, I find Octave
*very* similar to Mathematica.
Perhaps it was Matlab which borrowed its syntax from Mathematica?
If you follow the Help-Octave threads "Symbolic Package Errors" and "Is
the symbolic package useless?" :)
*There* you will find the difference between Mathematica and Octave. :)
What kinds of conclusions can be drawn from this page:
http://rigaux.org/language-study/syntax-across-languages.html ?
I was thinking that there might be more similarity between Mathematica
and GNU-emacs/LISP
in terms of symbol-substitution.
