Is PHP good for math?

Question

PHP

I choose the server language for the web application. The application has a lot of mathematical calculations and their accuracy is very important. Will PCP let me down? Python?

Answer 1

I would take python: it has a much richer standard lib, plus tools such as numpy / scipy.

Answer 2

Bro, choose Python! In addition to mathematical calculations, you will get a bunch of other things!

Answer 3

If you are going to solve differential equations numerically - look towards the backend in C ( www.gnu.org/software/gsl/) , well, or python + numpy (if you don’t master it). If analytically - in Lisp (maxima).
