MATLAB
Matlab is a software for high performance scientific calculus but also a simple programming language. It is a (quite expensive) commercial software, but open source clones like Octave and Scilab are available.
The Matlab producer website www.mathworks.com contains many useful information about how to use Matlab, but you can find many other resources on the web.
