Can anyone show me or tell me where to find out how to make math programs, like doing factorials and expressions and all that good stuff. Thanks

Hi manifestoid, and welcome to CCN!

This might have just what you need, this book has been around for a while and I would guess the code examples are pretty solid:

Numerical Recipes in C - *free PDF version:
http://www.library.cornell.edu/nr/bookcpdf.html

There's also a version in C++ you can purchase.

What language are you using and what are you trying to do?
If your looking for a free well establish product similar to MATLAB, then SciPy (written in python) is open source and has a big following in the scientific community: www.scipy.org

SciPy also has robust library of functions and an API you could possibly hook into (you'll need to review their licensing agreement, if your looking commercial, but it might suite you well!)

Ok i'm using the free programs, Blitzbasic and Leopold. I won't be using these to cheat either, its to help me on my homework, like doing factorials and all that. Thanks

Python might by good.
search the web for "MathPy (maybe its PyMath)" or "SciPy"
