TODO: Change name to "Class software"
This page includes information about both libre and non-libre software, rather than having it fragmented in a ton of separate pages across the wiki.
Contents
Non-libre Applications
| Software | License | WINE? | VM? | Native Linux? | Equivalent FOSS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MATLAB | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | Yes | QtOctave, FreeMat (stale?), Octave (console), Scilab (not syntax-compatible), Sage | Parallelize number crunching using the CVL |

| Microsoft Excel 2007 | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | No | Gnumeric | Absolute values ( such as "1" or "0") can not be used for constraints. Multiple cell ranges can not be manipulated at once, making Gnumeric unusable for transshipment problems and goal programming. Cell ranges can only be compared to ranges of equal length and width in constraints. Nonlinear programming is not yet possible.
Reports are dated in UTC. |
| PSpice | Proprietary | Silver | Yes | No | Qucs | You can probably replace the Tront PSpice book with the Qucs workbook. |
| Zeitnitz Soundcard Oscilloscope | ? | Gold | ? | No | xoscope | |

| Microsoft Project | Proprietary | Bronze | Yes | No | GNOME Planner | Planner lacks resource levelling or constraints |
| Autodesk Products | Proprietary | Garbage | Buggy | No | Success in Wine depends on the Autodesk product used and revisions of all software involved. | |
| Microsoft Visio | Proprietary | Gold | Yes | No | Dia | Lots of add-ons for circuit shapes and logic for flowcharts |
| Microsoft Visual Studio | Proprietary | Garbage | Yes | No | gcc, eclipse-cdt | Compiling C++ in g++ is okay, but testing in a Visual Studio environment is recommended to make sure that the project will work correctly before turning it in. |
