#OpenSource #gnuplot #Thirring 🧵 Part 5 of my series on open source software used at the Thirring Institute. Mathematical plotting is an artform, and there are some really good open source tools for this. One of the classics is a piece of software known as gnuplot. This is often embedded in other programs, but also used on it's own. Here's a couple of plot examples:

#OpenSource #Manim #Thirring 🧵 Part 4 of my series on open source software used at the Thirring Institute
As a small privately funded institute one of the most important things done here is outreach and education. Not only does it create publicity, it benefits the greater community. Thanks to Grant Sanderson and his 3blue1brown creation

As well as his generosity in open sourcing the Manim math animation engine 1/2
#OpenSource #Sagemath #Thirring 🧵 Part 3 of my series on open source software used at the Thirring Institute: Sage aka Sagemath. This is a powerful open source competitor to mathematical software such as Mathematica, Maple and others like it. This is written in Python, and is actually a suite of apps
Their mission statement is: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab. :newton: :euler:
