Does anyone have any favorite libraries for numeric tasks? I've been writing my own stuff for numerical analysis and statistics, but they're not great. For example my statistics package is over-specified for crummy classwork, and finitist statistics, further it lacks nice visualizations etc. I think my peers are using mostly scipy and R for this sort of thing.

Thanks for sharing this, but I'd prefer something with a first-class lisp interface, and from what I've seen Maxima's is not that great. I just starting taking a look at some alternatives and it seems like in addition to some wrappers around Maxima, there are three others:

http://www.mitchr.me/SS/mjrcalc/
http://fricas.sourceforge.net/
Of these Weyl which is a fork of Cornell's SimLab interests me most. I'm actually in midterms currently so I'll have to wait a second to do more in depth research, but it seems like there is a great selection, even if in Common Lisp and not Scheme.
