It's missing a few common data structures like matrix but functionnal solutions are often possible and a pure java back end function is always an option. For instance there is already a Runge Kutta solver whithout the need of matrix. What I like in FrAid is that: * it's more a Matlab like syntax (unlike BeanShell) (I used it in a simulator dedicated to Matlab users). * FrAid isn't a monster (unlike some other scripting languages). It rather follows a simple clear BNF grammar specification compiled into an interpreter via the JavaCC and JJTree standard tools and only focuses on filling the gap between the math functionnal syntax and the java language. * It comes with a bunch of built'in math functions May be you can have a look: http://fraid.sourceforge.net/ there is also a set of nice applet demos such as: http://fraid.sourceforge.net/begin/math3d_demo.html and the integration with java is detailed here: http://fraid.sourceforge.net/java/embedding.html Best regards and let us know please...
