- Mathematics Software: Arizona Mathematical Software (University of Arizona) has a wide variety of free commercial quality math software that can be used with students studying algebra, calculus, and differential equations. Rather than create one massive comprehensive package that would take weeks of class time to learn, we decided to write many small packages. Each of these packages is designed to do one thing very well, and be used effectively with no, or minimal, training.
