Ordinary Differential Equations on the web:

Recent development of various computers, from the personal computer to the super computer, involves rapid change in computer architecture and advancement in software engineering. There is a proliferation of solvers which focus on differential equations, ranging from simple numeric solvers to very comprehensive computer algebra software solvers. These packages are very helpful in education, numerical simulation and applications of differential equations and more is being developed every day. This is not a complete and comprehensive listing, we pay attention to the most popular packages.
