So if you are in the grad school you like to use softwares for everything you do (at least its true for me). Sometimes takes me more time to learn how to use a new software for the first time (and also second time ...) than just do the thing manually. You will get to the balance someday. I had professor back at University of Tehran and he had an idea that your work will be more useful if you could make a software out of it (and also sell it). Another great lesson I had was from Prof. Kim at NC State. The notion was: it would be great if you could make policies out of the results of your ideas and works. Its a long road, I know. But, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Lao-tzu).
As a student I like free softwares. Being free doesn't mean that the software is not alive (I mean something like the costumer service the commercial ones have). A good example is R. It has a huge community and contributers that support and develop the software and its packages. As yet, I never encountered a method or program which I couldn't find a package of it in R's website (or something very similar to that).
I gathered a list of useful softwares that I'm using often. Please let me know if you have any other recommended software you like to be added to this list.
