Most any language can be used to write your application. There are some existing Computer Algebra Systems (yacas comes to mind) that can be used as the back-end, so you would only need to write a front-end to the cas.

Assuming you are looking for a strictly command line based application, this could easily be built in C/C++.

I would make a command line program using C++ if I were you.

As Winged stated, any language would be capable of this. For command line you have a wide variety of choices: C/C++, Perl, Pascal, Python, PHP, Java, etc.

If you are looking for a GUI would recommend: C++, Java, or C#.

Thank you all for answers

Another question I have is how hard is it to do this. I know little of Basic and I did some programing in c++ . This was a while back. What do I have to do to to start the process of programing it. I want to use C++. Is there a good book or a program that will help me with this. I will prepare some drawing to show what I want to do

Thank you

Kienzle

No this is all very basic stuff, if I understand you right. There are free C++ tutorials on the net, or eBooks if you want that. I recommend a google search as I don't have any links atm..

Pretty much every single programming language can do maths.
