in reply to Matrix magic with Perl + Octave, R or MatLab?

I realize you said that you have the matrix manipulation under control, but I would encourage you to look at PDL anyway. It's quite fast and memory efficient. Also, since you mentioned it, R is also very good at matrix manipulation.

R also has nice display facilities (2D and 3D), and it is certainly what I would use for the type of project you seem to be describing.
