Suggestions for which language to do this in?

[cross6]

Working on an algorithm project with my dad, it requires integration of functions both definite and non.


Now I have no trouble doing this on paper, but I've never tried to "program" calc.


I mostly do php/mysql - but I've done some C# (gcc) and VB a long time ago.


I'm open to learning whatever language is best suited for calc operations. Not worried about a gui so much.


Thoughts?

you'd probobly want a functional language like a scheme...although it takes a really good mind to wrap around how it would take to do what your looking for

i just remebered theres some libraries in C/C++ that are specifically made to do a lot of calc functions you really need a tool like mathematica or matlab to take advantage of a lot of math libraries though.
