You don't mention Axiom, though it is a powerful and accessible calculation tool, and can be adapted and developed.

Dear Mr Hayes,
Wolfram now sells Mathematica Home Edition for about $ 300. I have recently started using it (while learning the language) and I am quite pleased.
I very much enjoy your columns and reviews.
Regards
Marc Weinberger

About once a month at Sigma Xi headquarters, we liven up the lunch hour with an American Scientist Pizza Lunch talk. In these informal lectures, scientists describe new research to nonscientists. The series is light on jargon but heavy on solid science. Each Pizza Lunch offers an in-depth look at its subject, whether it's bedbugs or the smart grid.

JSTOR, the online academic archive, now contains complete back issues of American Scientist from its inception in 1913 (as Sigma Xi Quarterly) through 2005.
The table of contents for each issue is freely available to all users; those with institutional access can read each complete issue.
