We are doing a project which needs differential and integral calculus.

  • The only scripting language we have worked with is PHP.
  • We are on a shared host with no shell access
  • The UI is made in PHP / Javascript.

We want to call from php to another script (different language) which than will return an array with the results.

Now the questions:

  1. Which language is easiest to connect to PHP in a non-shell environment? (is it really only perl)

  2. Which language (considering the filter of question 1) has best support of math libraries or frameworks to easily our work?

  3. Which language (C is not an option, as per above) has good performance in doing heavy calculations?

Thanks for your suggestions

UPDATE:

RUBY ON RAILS has such a library
http://rubyforge.org/projects/integral/

Rails is on some shared hosts included (like mine) to use.

For Perl exists a book Higher-order Perl: A Guide To Program Transformation,

    what programming languages does your host support? you could always just upload a script of any language and call it from php using the exec command http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

    matlab is good for math stuff … you could also do python and import some math libraries
    (Im a big fan of python)
