Tools for plotting behavior of differential equations

Question

I have several ODEs describing the behavior of dividing particles (e.g., How to model multi-step cell differentiation). I would like to plot these ODEs based on changing values of p over time. I would appreciate any advice on what graphics program would be suitable for this task.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I'd use either MATLAB or Python for that. Both have strong visualization capabilities.

Answer 2

You should have a lok at SAGE, a free open-source mathematics software.

Answer 3

I'll second Matlab but make specific metion to the Matlab toolkits pplane and Matcont.

Matcont is particularly useful for investigating bifurcations, which seems to be what you're interested in.
