REDUCE
A Portable General-Purpose Computer Algebra System
REDUCE is an interactive system for general algebraic computations of interest to mathematicians, scientists and engineers. It can be used interactively for simple calculations but also provides a flexible and expressive user programming language. The development of the REDUCE computer algebra system was started in the 1960s by Anthony C. Hearn. Since then, many scientists from all over the world have contributed to its development. REDUCE has a long and distinguished place in the history of computer algebra systems. Other systems that address some of the same issues but sometimes with rather different emphasis are Axiom, Derive, Macsyma (Maxima), Maple, Mathematica and MuPAD. REDUCE primarily runs on either Portable Standard Lisp (PSL) or Codemist Standard Lisp (CSL), both of which are included in the SourceForge distribution. By modern standards, REDUCE is a surprisingly small and compact application, which runs well on all major operating systems. -

radlab
Virtual Radiation Detection and Measurement Laboratory Software
Radiation detection and measurement education is necessary for a wide variety of people working with radiation. The equipment and laboratory setup needed for delivering this education are expensive and difficult to assemble due to the large variety of the type of experiments that are desirable to cover. For a basic education one needs to have gamma, beta, alpha and neutron sources, at least one detector to detect each type of radiation and other supplemental instrumentation to perform experiments. Although the radiation exposure due to these radioactive sources in an education laboratory is low, shielding and a private secured place is needed. Nearly two hundred thousand dollars is needed to construct such a basic laboratory described as above. In order to overcome these difficulties, a model of a basic Radiation Detection Laboratory has been created to provide a virtual environment for designing and simulating such experiments.

GeigerLog
Python program for Geiger counters and Environmental Sensors
GeigerLog is a combination of data logger, presenter, and analyzer, and is now released in version 2.1! Based on Python (Version 3), it runs on Linux, Windows, Macs, Raspberry Pi, and other. GeigerLog is WiFi-enabled for servers and clients; it can be monitored by SmartPhone. Initially developed for Geiger counters, it is now a more universal tool, which equally well handles data like temperature, air-pressure, humidity, CO2. Continues to support Geiger counters like GQ Electronic's GMC-300/500/600 , RadMon, RadPro, Gamma-Scout, audio-click and other low-cost Geiger counters, IoT devices, I2C based sensors, GQ EMF devices. GeigerLog reads data from devices, saves them to databases, prints to screen and plots as auto-updated, customizable graphs. Quality control using Statistics, Scatter, Poisson, FFT & Autocorrelation, and more. Gamma Spectra - can be displayed, calibrated, and evaluated in GeigerLog! The Raspberry Pi 4, 5 qualify as GeigerLog hosts. -
