I have been conceiving a model of a motor vehicle in my head. Kinematics calculations are no fun. I am loathe to do many calculations when I can let a computer do them for me. I have looked at oodles of different "this vs that" language comparos on the net. What I really need is symbolic math functionality. Mathematica can do this for me. I desire to write a stand alone program. I was hoping to find a language that can give me symbolic math functionality along with integration and differentiation. The coolest would be to find something that does math as slick as PHP does HTML. I am thinking of going with C or perhaps Ada, primarily because C works with Tcl and Ada is used for missile guidance systems which are heavily kinematic. If someone out there can tell me of a language I can use that can do what I need more easily, I would love to hear your suggestions. The big criteria is, "Does the language make mathematical modeling easy?" I figure there just has to be something out there that does mathematical modeling. I just haven't found it yet.
